Many independent contractors and commission earners believe they can choose how they are taxed. They can’t. Getting it wrong can trigger PAYE penalties, unexpected tax bills, and serious compliance issues with NAMRA. This session breaks down what really applies in Namibia and how to structure income correctly from the start.
R345,00 VAT incl.
Independent contractor vs employee. PAYE vs provisional tax. Commission vs salary. These aren’t academic debates — they determine whether your client lands in trouble with NAMRA.
In this practical session, Johan Nel unpacks the real tax treatment of independent contractors and commission earners in Namibia. We’ll cover remuneration definitions, fringe benefits, travel allowances, vehicle allowances, and salary structuring — all in plain language.
If you advise contractors, structure commission packages, or manage payroll, this session will help you avoid common mistakes, stay compliant, and confidently advise clients without second-guessing the rules.
