Where can an employee’s tax directive number be viewed?

The purpose of a tax directive is to enable SARS to instruct an Employer, how to deduct employees' tax from certain lump sums to a taxpayer or member.

An employee's directive number can be viewed on the "Other Actions" button in the top right hand area on the Edit Payslip screen.

          Navigate > Employee > Payroll Processing > Edit Payslip > Other Actions > Actions > Lump Sum Directive

      

      

To verify the directive numbers for Lumpsum payments processed, the Lump Sum Report can be generated.
