Nao says: 19 November 2015 at 10:54 I have resigned and Agreed with my current employer to get paid my 3 month notice pay since I am starting my own business. How much tax is applied to a cash lump sum (3month notice 220k leave pay 70k), can I apply for a tax directive. |
TaxTim says: 19 November 2015 at 11:04 Your employer can apply for a directive if the extra money was as a result of you being retrenched. If it is a resignation then you will be taxed according to the normal tax tables. |
Nao says: 19 November 2015 at 11:23 thanks for the prompt response, its a normal resignation unfortunately. can you also advise war rate would apply |
TaxTim says: 19 November 2015 at 11:42 It depends on the rest of you income, make use of our SARS income tax calculator to see what the tax will be - enter the before extra amount and after extra amount and the tax will be the difference. |
