Turnover tax: how much, and is it cheaper?
Work out turnover tax for a micro business (turnover up to R2 300 000) and compare it with normal income tax. Free, 2026/27 rates.
The rules in short
- For micro businesses with qualifying turnover of up to R2 300 000 a year (from 1 April 2026).
- 0% from R0, 1% from R600 000, 2% from R950 000, 3% from R1 400 000, paid in two interim payments.
- It replaces income tax, provisional tax and dividends tax on the business, and VAT unless you choose to stay registered. SARS sets other conditions too.
