  Written by Evan   Posted 6 August 2015

Hi Tim,

Firstly, I absolutely LOVE your website - it's put such a complicated system into an easy to understand format. Life saver tendencies :D!

I'm doing my own taxes (for the first time) via SARS eFiling and thanks to you the process has been rather easy. But I just need to double check on the following:

-Account statement shows a negative account balance (YAY) but what does 'aging transaction' mean?...

My current employer underpaid my tax each month from June last year until Feb, now I owe SARS money

  Written by Marc   Posted 5 August 2015

My current employer underpaid my tax by not taking into consideration that I worked before I started the job here. Now I have to pay in approximately R1300 on my tax. I began my job here June 2014, I only started working full time Jan 2014 as I was studying prior to that. Can I hold my current employer accountable for this amount as they knew I was working prior to taking up my position here and never took that into consideration when paying PAYE for me?
