What are the current maximum UIF contributions?
Important:
This answer is based on tax law for the tax year ending 28 February 2020.
Answer:
The Minister issued a notice (it issued on 17 March 2017) under section 12(3)(a) of the Unemployment Insurance Act, 2001 and it relates to unemployment benefits contemplated in Part B of Chapter 3 of the Act. The remuneration threshold is dealt with under section 6 of the Unemployment Insurance Contributions Act, 2002 and the relevant notice in the Gazette.
We are not aware of any notice relating to an increase in the remuneration threshold (or the contribution from R148.72 to R177.12). In other words, we agree with understanding of the matter.
