With the ever-changing legislation, your HR team needs to stay compliant and on top of things to reduce the impact on your business’s tax year-end. Many small businesses struggle to grasp the complexities of payroll taxes. Even more, businesses find it hard to explain tax calculations to their employees. In this guide, we discuss how to make your tax year-end pain-free in 2023.
Time and resources are a challenge for many small businesses. Your HR team needs to spend time double-checking PAYE, medical aid contributions, UIF, and pension fund figures.
