This document is a Supplier Evaluation Pack Template used by Eskom to determine the tax status of contractors providing services or labour. It is a questionnaire based on the Income Tax Act for the 2025/2026 tax year. It is not the tender specification for the Design and Construct Scope – ex-GE Store Perimeter Protection Works at Kusile Power Station. The pack classifies contractors as Independent Contractors, Personal Service Providers, Labour Brokers, or Dependent Contractors for PAYE withholding purposes.

The pack applies from 1 March 2025 to 28 February 2026. No tender-specific closing, briefing, or site visit dates are stated in this document.

For tax classification queries, contact Eskom Group Tax at [email protected]. The completed pack must be submitted to the contractor's Eskom representative for referral to the Group Tax Department at Megawatt Park. No tender submission address or SCM contact details are provided.

Returnable documents: the completed PAYE Questionnaire pack, including the signed summary sheet and all required affidavits, must be returned to Eskom. A copy must be emailed to [email protected].

Applicable pack: companies, close corporations and trusts complete Evaluation Pack A; individuals complete Evaluation Pack B. All questions must be answered truthfully and the pack signed by a duly authorised representative.

Consequences of non-compliance: failure to sign required affidavits or declarations results in PAYE being withheld from payments. The pack applies from 1 March 2025 to 28 February 2026 and is subject to changes in tax legislation.

Contractors must complete and submit the applicable evaluation pack (A or B) including all required affidavits and declarations (Appendices 1-9) as directed by the questionnaire. The completed pack, including signed summary sheet and affidavits, must be returned to Eskom, with a copy to Group Tax at [email protected].

This document does not contain tender evaluation criteria. It is a tax classification questionnaire that determines whether a contractor is an Independent Contractor, Personal Service Provider, Labour Broker, or Dependent Contractor for PAYE purposes. Classification is based on tests for residence, number of employees, connected persons, income concentration, place of work, control and supervision, and a dominant impression test.

This document is a tax questionnaire, not a technical specification. It contains no scope, deliverables, quantities, or standards for the Kusile Power Station perimeter protection works.

This document does not contain a pricing schedule, bill of quantities, or payment schedule. It details tax withholding consequences for Labour Brokers: with a valid IRP30 certificate, no PAYE is withheld and an IT3(a) certificate (code 3617) is issued; without a valid IRP30 certificate, PAYE is withheld at individual tax rates until the certificate is provided, and an IRP5 certificate (code 3617) is issued.

Financial requirements relate to PAYE withholding, not tender pricing:

• If classified as a Personal Service Provider or Dependent Contractor, PAYE is withheld from payments at prevailing tax rates.
• If classified as a Labour Broker with a valid IRP30 certificate, no PAYE is withheld and an IT3(a) certificate (code 3617) is issued.
• If classified as a Labour Broker without a valid IRP30 certificate, PAYE is withheld until a valid certificate is provided, and an IRP5 certificate (code 3617) is issued.
• Independent Contractors generally do not have PAYE withheld, subject to questionnaire outcomes.

Compliance is focused on tax status determination:

• Contractors must complete the relevant Evaluation Pack (A for companies/CCs/trusts, B for individuals).
• Must answer questions truthfully regarding residence, employee numbers, connected persons, income sources, place of work, and control/supervision.
• Must sign required affidavits and declarations (Appendices 1-9) based on questionnaire outcomes.
• Must provide supporting documents such as IRP30 certificates if applicable.
• No mention of CSD, B-BBEE, CIDB, CIPC, or local content requirements.

Contractors must indemnify Eskom for any taxes, interest, and penalties that SARS may impose on Eskom as a result of inaccurate information provided in the PAYE Questionnaire. Contractors must notify Eskom in writing of any changes to the information provided.

The PAYE Questionnaire applies from 1 March 2025 to 28 February 2026 and is subject to changes in tax legislation. Eskom accepts no liability for any loss or damages arising from the use of this pack. The pack is based on the Income Tax Act and case law applicable to the 2025/2026 tax year; if used outside this period, consult Eskom's Corporate Tax Department.

The PAYE Questionnaire is a mandatory tax classification tool for contractors providing services to Eskom. Contractors must complete the applicable evaluation pack (A for companies/CCs/trusts, B for individuals) and answer all questions truthfully. The pack determines whether the contractor is classified as an Independent Contractor, Personal Service Provider, Labour Broker, or Dependent Contractor for PAYE purposes. Contractors must provide accurate and complete information and notify Eskom of any changes. Failure to sign required affidavits or declarations will result in PAYE being withheld from payments.

This document does not contain tender evaluation criteria. It contains a tax status questionnaire that assesses factors such as risk for work quality, control over resources, exclusivity, subcontracting rights, and integration into Eskom's operations. The 'evaluation' refers to assessing tax classification, not scoring bids.
