Combine all your annual income, allowances and deductions, apply the annual tax tables and credits, then compare to what was withheld through PAYE to see your refund or balance owing.
Pull these from your P6 (employer's tax certificate) and any other income sources.
Salary + bonus + taxable allowances + other taxable income.
Pension (capped), NSSA, USD 700 bonus exemption.
The annual table is the monthly table × 12 (e.g. 0–1,200 at 0%, etc.).
Medical-aid 50%, elderly USD 900, blind/disabled USD 900.
If PAYE paid > final tax, you're due a refund. If less, balance is due with the return.
