So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 13.8% tax rate now rises to 15.3%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 1.5% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary

Si vous gagnez un salaire brut de R 264 792 par an en South Africa, vous serez imposé de R 36 466. Cela signifie que votre salaire net sera de R 228 326 par an, ou R 19 027 par mois. Votre taux d'imposition moyen est 13.8% 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. Par exemple, une augmentation de R 100 à votre salaire sera imposé de R 26, par conséquent, votre salaire net augmentera seulement de R 74.
