Back Payment of UIF

[pedruid]

We stopped paying UIF contributions for our 2 day a week domestic about 10 years ago. She's talking about retiring at 60 later this year and claiming UIF.
Any advise on how we go about this?

As a domestic employer, you can pay contributions every 6 months. I suggest register and pay a 6 month return.

Thanks Dave A, the problem is that my wife has previously registered our domestic some years ago.

[Dave A]

Are you/your wife registered on uFiling?

[pedruid]

Not me, I'll check with SWAMBO and get back to you.

[pedruid]

Apparently she stopped our portion when uFiling started. Does that help.

[Dave A]

Register on uFiling and file a return.

Does that help.

Who knows, but nothing ventured.. It seems it's not uncommon in SA for there to be a gap between theory and how things work out in the end.
