Frequently Asked Questions
What are the 2024/2025 tax brackets?
The 7 tax brackets for 2024/25 are: 18% (R0-R237,100), 26% (R237,101-R370,500), 31% (R370,501-R512,800), 36% (R512,801-R673,000), 39% (R673,001-R857,900), 41% (R857,901-R1,817,000), and 45% (above R1,817,000).
How do tax brackets work?
Tax brackets are progressive - you only pay the higher rate on income above each threshold. For example, earning R300,000 means you pay 18% on the first R237,100 and 26% only on the remaining R62,900.
What is the highest tax bracket in South Africa?
The highest tax bracket is 45%, which applies to taxable income exceeding R1,817,000 per year. This is the marginal rate; the effective rate is always lower.
How can I move to a lower tax bracket?
You can reduce taxable income through retirement contributions (RA, pension), medical expenses, donations to PBOs, and other deductions. This may move your marginal rate to a lower bracket.
