Taxable Income

Definition of Taxable Income

Taxable income is the amount on which tax will be calculated on.

Formula for Taxable Income:

Taxable income = Gross Income - Exempt Income - Allowable Deductions + Taxable Capital Gains.

Taxable capital gains are the taxable portion of the profit earned from selling an asset, e.g., the sale of your house.

Example:

If a taxpayer earns R500,000 annually, R25,000 local interest, and contributes R50,000 to a retirement fund:

Taxable Income = R500,000 + R1,200 (R25,000 - R23,800 interest exemption) - R50,000 = R451,200
