So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 16.7% tax rate now rises to 18%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 1.3% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary

Si vous gagnez un salaire brut de R 348 000 par an en South Africa, vous serez imposé de R 58 145. Cela signifie que votre salaire net sera de R 289 855 par an, ou R 24 155 par mois. Votre taux d'imposition moyen est 16.7% et votre taux d'imposition marginal est 30.5%. 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 30.5, par conséquent, votre salaire net augmentera seulement de R 69.5.
