Tax is complicated, and we don’t even have lunatic tariffs to worry about.
Often people talk about the fact we pay up to 45% tax in South Africa, but that is seldom true; in fact, mathematically it will never be true because tax is something called an asymptote. Even if you round up, you have to earn over R32.1 million a month, to get to 45% - something no-one (or very few people) will get close to.
I wanted to see and play with this, so I built taxreality.sadev.co.za this evening to play with the formula and visualise it.
Like with my last project, it is built with Deno, Fresh and Deploy. In addition, I also made use of System.css for some of the styling and RealFaviconGenerator which is an amazing tool; it let me use a SVG and have it change to work with light and dark mode!
