So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 22.9% tax rate now rises to 24%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 1.1% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary

Si vous gagnez un salaire brut de R 570 000 par an en South Africa, vous serez imposé de R 130 730. Cela signifie que votre salaire net sera de R 439 270 par an, ou R 36 606 par mois. Votre taux d'imposition moyen est 22.9% et votre taux d'imposition marginal est 36.0%. 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 36, par conséquent, votre salaire net augmentera seulement de R 64.
