Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer R 377 to pay you R 20 000. In other words, every time you spend R 10 of your hard-earned money, R 1.44 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
14.1%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 12.5% tax rate now rises to 14.1%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 1.6% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary

Si vous gagnez un salaire brut de R 240 000 par an en South Africa, vous serez imposé de R 30 020. Cela signifie que votre salaire net sera de R 209 980 par an, ou R 17 498 par mois. Votre taux d'imposition moyen est 12.5% et votre taux d'imposition marginal est 26.0%. Ce taux d'imposition marginal signifie que votre revenu supplémentaire immédiat sera imposé à ce taux.
