4 steps
  1. Calculate Mrs.

    Havana's total annual pension fund contributions.
    This includes both her own contribution and her employer's contribution.
    Mrs. Havana's annual salary is R17 300 per month ×\times 12 months = R207 600.
    Mrs. Havana's annual pension contribution: 7.5%×R207 600=0.075×R207 600=R15 5707.5\% \times \text{R}207\,600 = 0.075 \times \text{R}207\,600 = \text{R}15\,570.
    Employer's annual pension contribution: 10%×R207 600=0.10×R207 600=R20 76010\% \times \text{R}207\,600 = 0.10 \times \text{R}207\,600 = \text{R}20\,760.
    Total annual pension contributions = R15 570+R20 760=R36 330\text{R}15\,570 + \text{R}20\,760 = \text{R}36\,330.

  2. Calculate Mrs.

    Havana's total income for tax purposes.
    This includes her annual gross salary and the employer's pension fund contribution (which is considered a fringe benefit and added to gross income).

    Total income=Annual gross salary+Employer’s annual pension contribution\text{Total income} = \text{Annual gross salary} + \text{Employer's annual pension contribution} Total income=R207 600+R20 760=R228 360\text{Total income} = \text{R}207\,600 + \text{R}20\,760 = \text{R}228\,360
  3. Calculate Mrs.

    Havana's taxable income.
    Taxable income is calculated by subtracting allowable deductions (in this case, the total pension fund contributions, assuming they are within the deductible limits) from the total income.

    Taxable income=Total income−Total annual pension fund contributions\text{Taxable income} = \text{Total income} - \text{Total annual pension fund contributions} Taxable income=R228 360−R36 330=R192 030\text{Taxable income} = \text{R}228\,360 - \text{R}36\,330 = \text{R}192\,030
  4. Calculate Mrs.

    Havana's tax payable before rebates.
    Refer to the 2022 tax year table. Mrs. Havana's taxable income of R192 030 falls into the first bracket (1 – 216 200), where the tax rate is 18% of taxable income.

    Tax payable=18%×R192 030\text{Tax payable} = 18\% \times \text{R}192\,030 Tax payable=0.18×R192 030=R34 565.40\text{Tax payable} = 0.18 \times \text{R}192\,030 = \text{R}34\,565.40
    • Mrs. Havana's taxable income: R192 030\boxed{\text{R}192\,030}
    • Mrs. Havana's tax payable before rebates: R34 565.40\boxed{\text{R}34\,565.40}
