Thanks ST. I understand this whole situation much better now.
I understand your point made about pilots gettin S&T (below the max amount) to qualify for tax exemption and then they don't need to be out of the country for such long periods of time. But this way you don't get taxed by your company at all, if I understand it correctly.
But if you qualify for for the 183 days in 12 months, then they tax you on your basic and that way you only claim back your tax at the end of the financial year. Not that this part is too important to me, because I now I know that I won't get taxed on my S&T because I get taxed on my basic.
It's good to know this because I know alot of pilots always asking and not knowing if they are getting out what they should.
I mean... why would anyone work in Africa for the same amount that you could get in SA?
Thanks ST for the info.
