The contact person is the person that SARS will contact for any queries, the contact person is generally, but not always, the same person as the declarant. Enter the details as per how your company is structured.

Declarant
The Declarant will be the person who declares and verifies all documents prior to submission to SARS on behalf of the company.

Tax Type
There are two ways to calculate tax.


 * The Independent periods treat each pay period (week/fortnight/month) as a separate calculation. This option should be chosen for single use, such as freelancers.
 * The Averaging method is more accurate as the tax calculation is done on an annual figure. This option is better suited to choose this option for regular employees.

It is not advisable to switch between methods after you have started creating payslips for a tax.
