I googled and found correspondences to old payroll and HR explanations (2009-2010) saying it's deemed a bonus and thus taxed at 50 to 55% tax (??? really not sure how valid this is) |

TaxTim says: 15 January 2014 at 12:55 That is incorrect, the highest marginal tax bracket is only 40% and the employer could withhold that percentage, but it will reverse out at the time of filing. Else apply for a tax directive of the lesser percentage. As for 50%, we are not aware of anything like that. |
