We earn little so should we be taxed?

I work for a small company and all of us earn salaries ranging from R3 000 to R4 500 and only the owner earns R25 000. So now the company wants to register for PAYE and UIF. So after reading through most of your articles and many other ones online I discovered there is a minimum amount per year that you have to earn and none of us reach that amount except for the owner. So does this means that the company can register for all those but not deduct anything from the rest of us but himself?

Yes you are right in saying that not all of you have to pay tax but the company is expected to deduct UIF from all employees and deduct PAYE from the owner only.
