10 WAYS TO CELEBRATE HERITAGE DAY

The dictionary defines heritage as "what is or may be inherited and a portion allotted to anyone". September is Heritage Month in South Africa and it is every South African's right to embrace and celebrate it!

In this tenth year of South Africa's freedom, here are ten ways we can celebrate our heritage:

1.Show your true colours and fly our flag - be an ambassador for South Africa and fly our flag in thought, word and deed. After all, marketing South Africa is everyone's business and each and every one of us, through our behaviour, the words we use and the stories we tell, can make a difference in how we  see ourselves and how the rest of the world perceives South Africa.

2.Celebrate our successes and share your life story - we have a lot to be proud of: we continue to inspire the world to a new way of doing things, because our      unique combinations create refreshing possibilities.

3.Proudly buy South African products and make use of    South African services. This is not only a celebration of our heritage but it helps to sustain our economy  too. Marmite, boerewors, Mrs Balls Chutney, Ouma's Rusks and biltong…does it get any better than that?! Why not host a Heritage Day lunch and serve only South African food?

4.Learn our anthem - we must be the only country to     have a national anthem composed in five different  languages - and probably the only one whose people don't know the words to all of the verses! Our anthem, with its different languages and its different tunes, is a reflection of the diversity of our nation, and the words of each verse proudly proclaim the love we all have for this awesome           country. Go and learn the words to the entire anthem and do private karaoke sessions  while you learn. You'll do the nation proud the next time you stand up and sing with pride!

5.Recognise the role our past has played in shaping what South Africa has become today - read up on the parts of our history that you don't know or haven't         thought of since your were a child. Read the biographies of some South Africa's awesome heroes. Remember the challenges and celebrate the successes.

6.Learn the story of our flag - did you know that our flag is the third most recognized flag in the world? Itis also certainly one of the most loved by its people. Fly our flag this Heritage Month!

7.Learn one more of our 11 languages and explore the culture attached to it - learn more about the other races of the South African nation and open your eyes to the amazing diversity of South Africa's people, and at the same time, indulge in other tastes and flavours.

8.Celebrate our progressive constitution - no other country in the world is blessed with a constitution like ours - it's one of the most progressive in the world. You can celebrate and commemorate this by exercising your democratic rights and respecting the rights of others to begin with.

9.Live "Ubuntu" -"I am because we are" - show hospitality and warmth to fellow countrymen and visitors alike. Mostly, it is about togetherness and teamwork, attributes that have helped to build the rainbow nation and that will keep the rainbow intact for years to come.

10.Explore and discover our country - and while you're at it, visit our heritage sites. Not sure where they are?

What you need to know about PAYE 

How to save: ensure that you are registered if you are liable to deduct employees’ tax – if you do not register and fail to deduct PAYE, as the employer you will become liable for the PAYE, as well as penalties and interest.

DO NOT pay PAYE to SARS late (after 7th) as penalties and interest will be imposed.

Structure your employees’ salaries legally to minimise PAYE.

Ensure that you are deducting the correct amount of PAYE if you are employing contractors, casual/ part time employees, labour brokers or people operating through companies/cc’s.

At the end of the tax year, you would have to complete IRP 5’s for employees, detailing their remuneration and PAYE deducted.

Who is required to pay PAYE

All businesses employing staff who earn in excess of the minimum tax thresholds (R30 000 per annum if less than 65, or R47 222 if 65 or older), or if commission earners or contractors are paid who may be subject to a flat rate of tax, must register as an employer with SARS.

SITE/PAYE must be deducted from the employees’ remuneration monthly. Director's are now also required to pay PAYE. A PAYE return must be completed monthly and submitted to SARS together with the SITE/PAYE owed. This must be submitted by 7th of each month.
