All the 2008/09 “Budget Fever” has now come and gone. The big news for SMME’s in this Budget were:
· Corporate tax rate cut from 29% to 28%.
· The increase in the VAT threshold to turnover of R1-million.
On the other hand, the level of tax relief for individuals as well as companies amounts to R15.1-billion, with personal income tax relief of R7.7-billion, tax subsidies for labour intensive industries totalling about R5-billion over a period of 3 years. Below it’s a taxable income table for individuals, hope you find it useful:
