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.

Voila! The tax equation
Once you know all the figures, type them in your calculator as:
