UIF Limit Increased

From 1 Oct. 20012, the annual limit for income subject to UIF contributions has increased from R149,736 to R178,464. That results in a new monthly limit of R14,872 and a weekly limit of R3,432.

Employees who have always earned less than the old limit (monthly R12,478), will not see any difference, they will still have the 1% deduction + 1% company contribution. However, those earnings more than the limit will see theirs increase from R124.78 per month to as much as R148.72 per month.
