Finally we see some good changes for Small companies!

Well, it's finally happened!

National Treasury has finally adjusted a lot of the tax thresholds that we (SAICA and others) have been asking FOR MANY YEARS.

Young people like saying "I've got receipts" (evidence).

So I spent the morning trying to find documented evidence showing just how long ago SAICA started this tax threshold crusade.

Some would've seen my post last year where we advocated for this in our Annexure C submission. See https://www.linkedin.com/posts/lesedi-seforo-16599a20_how-long-has-it-been-since-the-various-tax-activity-7383800493711458306-pw-l/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_desktop&rcm=ACoAAARqyV0Bse0AwHPWVTQVjmNF9nGNTS49kzA

A lot of people reacted to it.

From what I can tell, this issue is documented in all our Annexure C submissions FROM 2020 all the way to 2025. That's 6 years 🤯!

Here are all the Annexure C submissions we made on this issue, which you can find at https://www.saica.org.za/resources/tax/submissions
2020 - page 29
2021 - page 56
2022 - page 93
2023 - page 88
2024 - page 22
2025 - page 56
2025 - Presentation to SCOF at the public hearings on the 2025 Rates Bill https://saicawebprstorage.blob.core.windows.net/uploads/resources/Presentation-to-SCoF-on-the-2025-Rates-and-Monetary-Amounts-and-Amendment-of-Revenue-Amounts-Bill.pdf )

I guess the lesson in all of this is that with any type of advocacy, you have to "keep knocking" as our Head of Tax at SAICA, Pieter Faber would say.

Let's spread the word so that people know.

Tax efficient ways to invest:

1. Tax Free Savings Accounts (TFSA). Annual deposit limit is R36 000. Lifetime deposit limit is R500 000. Try to maximise these if possible. Dividends, interest, growth and withdrawals are generally tax-free. If you have Children - start setting up their Tax Free Savings Account now as opposed to a traditional Savings Account

2. Retirement Annuity (RA)/Pension contributions: Contributing to pension funds lowers your taxable income. Dividends, interest and growth is also largely tax free.

3. Invest in growth-oriented assets like shares (this also includes equity ETFs and Unit Trusts) for example . Capital gains for shares are taxed at a lower rate compared to interest-bearing 'investments'.

4. Endowments. These are taxed as a flat rate of 30%. They can offer tax advantages if your marginal tax rate is over 30%, but your money is usually locked in for five years.

Having said that, keep in mind that we cannot entirely run away from paying tax, at some point we must pay what is due. Only the unemployed and those that are not alive don't pay income tax.

We are not an FSP, but we have done the research to help and guide you to make better choices.
