Payroll Planning Tips
Bracket Creep Awareness: As salaries increase with inflation, employees may move into higher tax brackets. Adjust net salary projections accordingly.
Fringe Benefits: Use tax‑efficient fringe benefits (medical aid, pensions, travel allowances) to help employees manage tax burdens.
Annual Reviews: Update payroll software with new tax tables each year.
Communication: Provide employees with personal tax breakdowns to help them understand deductions.
Payroll Tax Training: Train HR teams to stay abreast of tax changes, including skills development levy thresholds and UIF adjustments.
