Thanks to rebates available to taxpayers, you only start paying tax when you earn more than a certain amount. For the 2026 Tax Season, that amount is R95,750 if you are under age 65 (increased to R99,000 for the 2027 tax year). The thresholds are much higher for those aged between 65 and 75 and those older than 75. These are automatic rebates that reduce the tax you pay before any other relief is applied.
Medical scheme contribution tax credits provide a monthly rebate for the main member and first dependent, plus lower amounts per month for each additional dependent. If your medical expenses exceed a certain threshold, you may also qualify for additional medical tax credits based on your total out-of-pocket medical costs for the year...
