Taxes are an inevitable part of our lives. With this year’s tax season fast approaching, it’s important to get everything in order for this year’s filing. So make sure you have all your documents ready and get the help of an expert if necessary.
Here are some tips on how you can save with tax.
Save for your retirement
Saving for retirement is one of the most important things you need to do that your future self will thank you for. And the sooner you start, the more you can benefit from compound interest.
Your retirement contributions are tax-deductible. This means you can deduct retirement contributions of up to 27,5% from your gross income, which will reduce the income tax you pay. Top up your retirement funds with this money and see your retirement funds grow.
Get a tax-free investment
Use a tax-free investment as a way to save money for the long term, tax free. You can save up to R33 000 a year or R500 000 over your lifetime. This means you get tax-free growth and don’t pay tax when you withdraw your money.
