Artist says: 19 April 2016 at 21:14 I am a freelance artist, I want to work fulltime for myself, but can't be certain how much I will make or whether I would make any money at all. I am married in community of property. My husband is lucky enough to have an employer that takes care of his submission every year. I need to ask whether I should add my income to his submission or whether I should have my own tax number. I tried to enlighten myself by reading the Tax website,, but it's all greek to me, I can't seem to figure it out. I just need to know if I make say R 80 000 give or take a year - what do I do with it,, how much of it must I sacrifice to SARS. How do I pay them.. I just want to be on the right side and know it's all good. |

TaxTim says: 20 April 2016 at 9:38 You should have your own tax number. Please read our blog on How to get a SARS tax number The tax threshold is currently R75,000 for 2016/2016 - therefore if you earn a taxable income (income less expenses) below this amount you won't need to pay any tax, however we suggest you still submit a tax return to be 100% compliant and have an unbroken filing history should you be above the threshold later on. Assuming you earn above the tax threshold, you should register as a Provisional Taxpayer and pay tax twice a year on your income. Remember you can deduct business related expenses to reduce your income, and ultimate tax liability (eg. paint, materials, home office, telephone etc) Please Register for TaxTim and let us assist you with your provisional and tax return filings. |
