Tax on commission?

Posted 13 June 2013

If I earn salary on commission only is there a tax directive and how much tax in percentage are my employer legally obliged to deduct from my commission?

If the commission is based on a percentage of sales or some driver and you only work for one company then your employer should apply for a directive as to what percentage to withhold each month. This can be between 18% and 36%. an IRP3(b) will be applied for.
