Overview   

The COVID-19 pandemic hasn't made it easy for the average citizen. Many people have either lost their jobs or they've seen their businesses collapse during the country's lockdowns.  

The Minister of Finance recently delivered his annual budget speech to the country. Before he did, many people from all walks of life were very keen to know what was in store for them taxwise.  

What are the new income tax bands? Will taxpayers fork out more money to bankroll the vaccination programme? What about the so called sin tax; will smokers and drinkers pay more? Are there any other recent legislative changes that affect individual taxpayers? 

Join Russel Ngobeni BAP(SA) on 31 March 2021 from 09:00 a.m. to 13:00 p.m. as he gives you the latest information on income tax for individual taxpayers.
