    Yes, you still have to file your personal income tax return.
    Even though your tax is deducted automatically through PAYE, the new tax framework says employees must still submit an annual tax return to confirm their total income and compliance. PAYE deduction does not replace personal filing.

    Your employer deducts the tax but you still file the return yourself.

    You usually won’t pay extra money unless you have other income; the filing is mainly for record and legal compliance.
