John says: 26 June 2015 at 14:55 I currently work for a company where the medical aid is paid in full by the business, however my tax is killing my net. I work on a gross of R29 537. 08 PM but only net R20 042. 21 which means I am paying almost R10000 a month in tax. According to my company, they say nothing can be done to reduce the monthly tax as it would be unlawful. I want to find out if that is true or if anything can be done to help the situation? |
