Publisher's Synopsis
People often feel that they pay the taxman more than they should, but lack information on how they can save on tax. This is a guide to saving tax for employees, employers and companies. It includes a basic introduction to the concept of taxes and what it means to be a taxpayer, and provides the reader with information that will assist them in understanding the complexities of taxation in a South African context. It informs the reader of the various allowances and fringe benefits they can utilise to minimise their tax liability; advises how to complete a tax return in order to enjoy the full tax benefits; and highlights common mistakes made by taxpayers when they complete their tax return, often resulting in benefits and allowances being disallowed by the Receiver. "Saving Tax" provides advice, guidelines and helpful hints on every aspect of personal and business tax, and is essential reading for each and every taxpayer in South Africa.
