Tax and Marriage go together, like a horse and carriage – especially because SARS treats income differently according to the type of marriage contract that binds you and your spouse. Persons, whether married or not, are separate and independent taxpayers, but be aware – SARS treats certain income differently according to marital status. Tax laws generally favour married over unmarried couples.
