PAYE

Pay- as- you- earn means of collecting tax is used because it is often difficult to collect tax at the end of the year from wage and salary earners. The duty to collect the tax from their employees as payments are made to them is placed on employers. There is an elaborate system of administration to ensure that broadly the correct amount of tax is deducted week by week or month by month and that the employer remits the tax collected to the Inland revenue very quickly. Although technically called pay-as-you-earn, the system would be better called pay-as-you- get-paid.
