The computer will do a tax check and let you know what taxes are required to be paid. If you need to change the period worked, use the browse button.
You can check against the book, to be doubly certain.
If the Employee is contributing towards Medical Aid
If they are not, please skip this step and proceed to Step 9
The employee has contributed towards medical aid, therefore they are entitled to Medical Tax Credit (Not REBATE).
So the program has worked out that the tax to be paid to Date is R 6 853.50
They are entitled to a credit of R 51 00.00, therefore they should be paying R 1 753.50 PAYE for the year.
They have paid R 885.79, therefore they have to pay in R 867.71.
BUT if the medical tax credits is higher than the annual PAYE due
The annual Tax is R 3 445.00.
They have paid R 885.79 so they should be paying in R 2 559.21.
If the medical Tax credit is HIGHER than the annual Tax, this employee can ONLY get a refund of the PAYE they have already paid.
Even though they are entitled to a Credit of R 5 100.00 and their annual tax is R 3 445.00 they are NOT entitled to the difference.
