Please tread carefully with this.....

The tax amendment bill had the effect that unless the tax payer can show that he / she received the net amount on the payslip, and the net amount is after a tax deduction according to the payslip, SARS are entitled to disregard any deduction for PAYE.

In a nutshell, it means the onus is on the taxpayer to prove that he or she only received after tax remuneration.

I kid you not.
