Every year, the government sets new tax rates for taxpayers. In 2024, there will likely be changes in the taxation rates as determined by factors such as economic growth, population, SASSA grants, and public servant wages.
The South Africa Revenue Service plans out the new tax rates taking into account inflation and the country’s social and economic growth. These taxes collected from the taxpayers contribute to the nation’s social and economic development, enabling the government to provide benefits to eligible beneficiaries.
The exact tax rates for 2024 will be announced by the government before March 31st, and taxpayers will be informed of the changes based on the country’s socio-economic conditions.
