3.1 Tax rebate: A reduction in the amount of tax owed by an individual or entity, provided by the government as an incentive or relief for certain activities or circumstances.

3.2 Monthly tax payable:

- Annual taxable income: R259,896

- Tax for income up to R237,100: R3,898.44

- Tax for income above R237,100: R1,161.04

- Total monthly tax payable: R5,059.48

3.3 Tax threshold verification:

Annual taxable income (R259,896) exceeds the tax threshold for taxpayers below 65 years of age (R95,750). Therefore, the statement is incorrect.
