⚠ This is an estimate, not tax advice

Rates shown are the most recently published SARS individual income tax brackets and the standard 15% VAT rate. SARS updates income tax brackets and rebates every year at the Budget Speech (usually February) — always confirm current rates at sars.gov.za or with a registered tax practitioner before filing or making a payment.
