Introducing the debate on the National Treasury's budget in an extended public committee Gordhan said: "From September this year Sars will require all those receiving any form of employment income – including those below the tax threshold – to be registered with Sars to help reduce the scope for non-compliance."
A spokesperson said later that all employers will be required to register all their employees, and a bulk email will be sent out to enable registration to be done speedily and easily.
The spokesperson said that Sars would add several millions of non-tax payers to the register.
He was however unable to say how many non-taxpayers would be
added to the registration lists, but will be more precise in September when the
process begins.
