<P> In 2009 there were 3.5 million assessed taxpayers with a total taxable income of R632. 6 billion, of that they were liable to pay R154. 1 billion . Of them 28.8% were between 35 and 44 years old and 56.7% were male, 3.9% (136,124) of them had business income . Over 60% of taxable income came from salaries, wages and remuneration . Travel allowances were the largest allowance claim, the largest fringe benefit was medical aid paid on behalf of employees and contributions to retirement funds were the largest tax deductions . Although the number of tax payers has increased most taxpayers fall below the R63, 556 (2013) taxable income threshold and so are not required to submit an income tax return and are therefore not included in the 3.5 million assessed taxpayers . </P> <P> In 2015 / 16 financial year out of a total 33 million eligible tax payers around 10% or 3.3 million people paid 93% of total income tax collected in that period . Of them 1.1 million or 3.7% of all income tax payers paid just under 70% of all income tax collected in that period . This means that South African income tax receipts are highly reliant on a relatively small number of high income tax payers . </P> <Table> Income tax table (2015 / 2016) <Tr> <Th> Taxable Income (in Rands) </Th> <Th> Rate of Tax </Th> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 0--188,000 </Td> <Td> 18% of taxable income </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 188,001--293,600 </Td> <Td> R33, 840 + 26% of taxable income above R188, 000 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 293,601--406,400 </Td> <Td> R61, 296 + 31% of taxable income above R293, 600 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 406,401--550,100 </Td> <Td> R96, 264 + 36% of taxable income above R406, 400 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 550,101--701,300 </Td> <Td> R147, 996 + 39% of taxable income above R550, 100 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 701,301 and above </Td> <Td> R206, 964 + 41% of taxable income above R701, 300 </Td> </Tr> </Table> <Tr> <Th> Taxable Income (in Rands) </Th> <Th> Rate of Tax </Th> </Tr>
