Theory:
- ESTIMATE = WHAT YOU THINK YOUR TAXABLE INCOME WILL BE.
(on i.e 31 Aug 2021, and 28 Feb 2022)

- BASIC AMOUNT = WHAT THE COMMISSIONER THINK YOUR TAXABLE INCOME WILL
BE FOR THE LATEST PRECEDING YEAR OF ASSESSMENT (LPYOA) LESS CGT, RLB,
RLWB, SB and LOSS OF OFFICE.

- NOTICE OF ASSESSMENT = SARS THAT GIVES YOU FEEDBACK ON YOUR TAX CALCS >
TO TELL YOU IF YOU OVER OR UNDER PAID FOR THE PREVIOUS YOA.

////////////////////////////////////////////////\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
STEP 2: > 18 Months Rule.
IF NO -> - Is end of LPYOA par19(1)(d)
BASIC AMOUNT - > 18months before
. = - the current estimate?
TI in OLDER YOA
IF NO: Then no 8% escalation of inflation necessary
////////////////////////////////////////////////\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
STEP 3: 8% Escalation Rule.
IF YES: - (for every year back -> 8% escalation)
#therefore . - 8% x years back

= Basic Amount to be used in current year.
