I am a freelance web designer / developer. I work a normal 8 - 5 job during the day from which I get a monthly salary from my employer, I fall into the lower end of this tax bracket R377 451 - R528 000. On some months, I get side projects to work on and during the course of last year, the freelance business made approx R40000 (forty thousand rand) after expenses. I would like to find out if I should register as a provisional tax payer.
