When calculating the tax portion on a lump sum payment isn't the first R500,000 tax free

Posted 29 November 2014

When calculating the tax portion on a lump sum payment isn't the first R500,000 tax free which means the tax calculation should only be done on the remaining portion. With a lump sum of R3,000,000 the taxable portion is R2,500,000. This means the tax will be 36% of the amount exceeding R1,050,000 + R130,500 which is 36% times (R2 500 000 - R1,050,000) plus R130,500 = R 652,500
