Why register for PAYE

According to the Act, an employer must register with the South African Revenue Service (SARS) within 21 business days after becoming an employer, unless none of the employees are liable for normal tax.  All employees that earn a salary above the threshold & work more than 24 hrs a month, are liable for normal tax. The tax threshold for individuals younger than 65 is R6950 per month.

There is a learning curve you’ll have to go through before you can even start to think about registering your company quickly and easily. If you get just one little thing wrong in one little document, it could set you back days, if not weeks.
