An IT3a is the same as an IRP5, except that it shows employee earnings from which tax has NOT been deducted.
An IT3(a) is a tax certificate issued to a taxpayer at the end of the tax year, detailing income, allowances, and deductions where no employees’ tax (PAYE) was withheld. It is typically provided for payments such as contract income, allowances, or other remuneration not subject to PAYE.
This certificate is used by the taxpayer to accurately complete their income tax return for the relevant tax year.
