How do I fill in the form as a salary earner PLUS freelancer?

Posted 30 January 2013

If I earn extra money as a freelancer, over and above my monthly salary, and I'm not registered as a business / CC, how do I fill that in on the form? i.e. I'm not the "director of a Private Company or a member of a Close Corporation" as it says in Section 13 & 14 - but I do freelance work outside my job that pays me (and some of it is foreign income).

You would complete the section which asks if you ran a local business (section 13) and then follow the questions there. Tim will ask you for all the incomes and expenditures you have had over the year. Your foreign income will have to be included at an average exchange rate for the year or at the exact amount it translated into your bank account. You would include this under the income questions when asked!
