    If you worked at multiple places during 2021, you only need to fill out one Return. Ensure that you include all your income in the one Return and attach all the 7B slips to it.

All taxpayer details such as Name, Address, TIN, previous employer, and period(s) worked, should be addressed in the said letter.

    Further to the above, individual taxpayers with multiple employers must note that the statutory deduction or free pay of G$780,000, (Year of Income 2021) should only be deducted by the primary Employer. As such, it is imperative to note that the deductions are not allowed on each income earned  but provides for each individual to be allowed a deduction of $780,000 on income earned up to the year ending December 31, 2021. Therefore, the Employee should ensure that the Secondary Employer does not deduct free-pay during the earning period, as you will be held accountable for any over-deductions incurred.
