Freelance earning under R60 000 p/a. What tax do I pay?

  Written by Marc   Posted 3 January 2013

Hi,

I work on a freelance basis. I have one regular client who deducts tax from my pay (@ 23% of invoiced amount).
Other clients pay me in full.

I earned less that R60 000 in the 2012 tax year as I was abroad for most of the year.

As far as I understand, I should not have to pay any tax as I have earned less that R60 000? But I should be reimbursed for the tax I paid through client?

What tax forms do I need to complete?

Thanks
