Tax isn’t as much of a mission as you think

Tax isn’t as much of a mission as you think

As the title suggests, tax isn’t complicated. So long as you know the right steps and where your money is going, that is 😉

In the previous articles, we discussed what tax is and the different tax types. Today, we present you the 4 steps of how your tax gets calculated.

These steps are helpful for those of you who are independent workers or have a business.

Step 1 – Is your income Personal or Corporate?

Before you scroll down to have a peek at the tax equation, you have you know what part of your income is being taxed.

Step 2 – Earn enough to incur tax?

If you earn below the required wage for tax, your pay will be exempt from tax.

During this assessment, it is also a good time to see if you qualify for any exemptions.

Step 3 – Know your tax rate

Know your tax rate to avoid a surprise when your pay is lower than expected.

Types of tax rates include:

Voila! The tax equation

Once you know all the figures, type them in your calculator as:

(taxable amount – deductions & relief) x tax rate% = payable tax amount

REMEMBER stay on top of your taxes. Keep a calendar or set a reminder on you phone for upcoming payments. If you miss the deadline, you will incur late penalitiy fees, or even get into trouble with the law.
