So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 26.1% tax rate now rises to 27%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 0.9% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary

Si vous gagnez un salaire brut de R 726 000 par an en South Africa, vous serez imposé de R 189 428. Cela signifie que votre salaire net sera de R 536 572 par an, ou R 44 714 par mois. Votre taux d'imposition moyen est 26.1% et votre taux d'imposition marginal est 39.0%. Ce taux d'imposition marginal signifie que votre revenu supplémentaire immédiat sera imposé à ce taux.
