Two employers. Do I have to register as a provisional tax payer?

I receive an income from two employers. R10 000 from the one, who obviously deducts PAYE and R4500 from the other, who does not deduct PAYE, as the amount falls under the threshold.

Do I have to register as a provisional tax payer or can I register at the end of the year when assessments are due? I have never registered to file a tax return before, as my income has always been exempt from having to file tax returns. This will be my first time filing a tax return.

Do you receive a IRP5 from the second employer?

Yes, I will be receiving an IRP5 from both employers.

No, then you do not need to register as a provisional taxpayer, however it would be advisable to do so or to ask the second employer to deduct tax at 18% so then you do not need to make a manual payment at the end of the year. Basically if no tax is deducted then you will have to pay in manually.
