Thanks for posting again Andre…also your responsiveness and openness to the comments is refreshing.

Thank you very much for this André. The example you made of R500k do you include benefits or are benefits taxed separately/differently?

The tax free first R90k confused me a bit. I'll wait for a video that has calculations in it so that I can properly follow

Hi Andre. Does SARS apply the age-related tax rebates automatically when calculating my tax? Or do I subtract the rebate as a deduction on efiling? Thank for your answer?

Hi Andre
I just need some clarity please with regards to the 91250 which is tax free, if I earned 250k do I only pay tax after the 91250 is deducted? Meaning only the remaining balance which is 158750 ?

Hi Andre, appreciate the content. The video doesn't explain how the "marginal" tax works. Using that 450k marginal tax scenario, what would you be taxed? The marginal tax explained, how does it apply? I hope I am making sense.
