SARS eFiling 2026/2027

[whatwhat]

I dont have medical aid or RA. So if my company took too little, surely that cant be my responsibility? Last year I did not have this issue. I dont have R6200.00 to pay SARS. My company should be decducting my UIF, PAYE etc....that is not for me to do????

Company deducts PAYE so that people aren't hit with a massive single bill. Company should look at your total taxable income - so that's normal salary and also any bonuses or increases that happen. Most companies will just use that amount, and match it to the SARS tax tables and pay what they need to. That way when you submit, claim the RA/medical you get the taxable deduction and money back.

However some companies you can let them know your medical aid or RA contributions (especially if they provide or match), so they calculate your taxable income with these tax credits/deductions and then do PAYE according to that rate.

Best would be ask your HR to confirm that they are using the right PAYE table for you, and not to deduct anything for Medical or RA when looking up PAYE.

Also, if we look at the amount - R520 that you owe per month, that works out to about R2,000 per month that should be taxed. So it might be that you have some allowance (travel, mobile, etc.) that your company thinks is tax free but you are either not claiming it or SARS thinks it's not free. Check your IRP5 for source code 3701/3702 (travel).

Also if you don't have that money to pay them now, you said you saw this on the SARS calculator. So then don't submit now, save up and submit when you have saved up much closer to the payment deadline. You can also ask SARS for a payment plan.

Could be a few things - your employer underpaid PAYE and you need to pay in the missing amount. Did you change jobs? Any allowances for travel, etc? Salary increases?

If none of that, then your HR just paid too little tax on your behalf during the year using wrong tax tables. Usually people get tax back because their employee took too much off your salary and you getting a refund.

Without seeing the ITR12 it's hard to say exactly why.

Also your HR misundestood you - you're not asking them file your tax, you're asking them how they calculated your tax tables when they deduct it every month.

His HR is just being a typical b***h they usually are
