Description: Through their organisations, workers have raised ill many problems with the tax system in South Africa. The main issue is that although everyone in South Africa pays tax, the majority of the people cannot choose their government and so they have no say in how their money is spent. Only 14% of South Africans can vote for the government. However, the government decides howto use everyones’ money. Clearly, then, the payment of tax is a political issue. Everyone should have an equal say in how their money is spent. Tax is also an issue that particularly concerns workers. Since the introduction, in 1988, of the Standard Income Tax on Employees (SITE), workers have had their tax assessed by their employers. How this happens and the problems that this can cause, are set out in this booklet. Many workers may have paid too much tax between March and July this year. They should be refunded the money. It is important to check and see if this has happened. The booklet will explain howtodo this and will teach people how to work out how much tax they should be paying. Tax is also being taken up as a womens' issue because married women pay more tax than anyone else.
