About this Dataset
South Africa recorded 27 % combined statutory rate in 2026. That is unchanged on the previous period. Across 2000–2026 the series ranges from 27 % combined statutory rate in 2026 to 30 % combined statutory rate in 2000.
This page tracks the combined statutory corporate income tax rate in South Africa — central government plus any sub-central or surtax component, which is the figure normally quoted for cross-border comparison and is often materially higher than the headline central rate alone.
Data sourced from OECD via SDMX REST API. This is the statutory rate, not the effective rate: deductions, incentives and the 15% global minimum tax all sit between the two.
