Incomplete ITR12 2012 tax form: Pay Periods

Posted 29 October 2012

Error in form Pay Periods. Field: Period of Tax Year. Value: 0.000. The Periods of year assessment does not seem to be valid. Only numeric digits may be used. The no. of periods worked value can't be greater than periods of year of assessment value. The value should be greater than 0. The number specified should include decimals. Please assist. What/where do I need to correct on form. Submitted manually.

What is the value you are trying to enter into that field, for Pay Period? It's basically asking how many months of the year you worked - a number from 0 to 12, with decimals allowed in between. The periods worked must be less than the periods available to work because you can only work a fraction of the workable days. The Pay Periods box is on the employee tax certificate / IRP5 section.
