Do I need to have a tax number to be a tutor, and do I get PAYE deducted from my payments?

Our tutors and concessions facilitators are independent contractors, and therefore no PAYE is deducted from your hourly rate. The payment received by our tutors is normally below the tax threshold of South Africa, and so we do not deduct tax. Should the sum of your earnings through BrightSparkz, either independently or in conjunction with other part-time employment, put you over the tax threshold, it is your responsibility to submit your own tax returns.
