i am a student that has currently undertaken vac work for a company.. the daily rate that i am recieving is R400 i am paid weekly which totals to R2000 a week. i was told that i was being taxed at 25% which is the rate at which Non-standard employment is taxed,which totals R500 a week for tax(totalling R2000 for 4 weeks work). i am confused now as to why i am being taxed if my income is way under the tax thresh hold. do i have to submit a tax return and then i will recieve the money back? how does this work i am confused..please help
