Employed on Contract Basis (PAYE)
By Nicci Courtney-Clarke · Updated
I've gone from working for an employer to freelancing and now I'm working on
a contract basis. I'm not taxed on my contract income. All I do is send an invoice and they pay me and deduct nothing off that. I'd like to still pay SARS the PAYE, is that possible? (I have my own retirement fund).

You unfortunately can't pay tax via PAYE anymore as you're not employed nor are you an employer. Kindly register for provisional tax, please read our blog onWhat is Provisional Tax? How and when?
