Here are three of the easiest methods to reduce your tax liability:
1. Tax payers can deduct retirement fund contributions of up to 27.5% of their income, limited to a total contribution of R350,000 per year. You can make lumpsum contributions and many retirement annuities accept ad-hoc payments.
A tax payer earning over R555,600 contributing an additional amount to their RA will immediately save R39,000 on every R100,000 invested within the above limits.
2. Net off your profit and losses in your stockbroking account.
Most investors aren’t aware of the benefits of culling all the laggards in February, but it allows you to exit losing positions and net off the losses against profits, while rebasing your purchase prices higher to reduce future tax liability.
3. Start a Tax-Free savings account. The most under-utilised tax incentive is the Tax- Free savings account. This is because most people underestimate the compounding ability of the R33,000 maximum contribution per annum.
Investors should also not be saving into a money market account but rather ETFs. Over time the growth achieved will be substantial and all returns and income are tax exempt.
