Incorrect Tax Code

My employers incorrectly submitted my 2016 tax return with a code of 3601 instead of 3616. I'm a contractor with a fixed term contract and end dates and receive no company benefits. They refuse to submit an EMP601 correction which SARS has asked for, I think they are concerned they will be audited. I am therefore having to pay a tax bill. Is there anything I can do?

You would need to have an affidavit drawn up stating all this, and then most likely file an objection to SARS showing your case and supporting documents.
