I work full time for a single employer. The employer does not deduct *any* monies/tax from our monthly salaries, and says that it's our responsibility to sort it out with SARS. He considers us as contract workers.

I have registered as a provisional tax payer with SARS, and have paid my yearly dues for the last couple of years.

I was recently told that legally, this is not correct, and that the employer *must* register us for Income tax, deduct taxes monthly and issue us an IRP5 every year.

I work only for this one company, so 100% of my income is from one source.

What is the legalities around this? Ideally I'd like to be deregistered as a provisional tax payer, and let my employer deduct tax from my salary. Can I legally force my employer to go this route?
