Port Louis, Mauritius

The first MUR 500,000 of chargeable income is tax-free, then 10% and 20%, with CSG and NSF deducted on top. Island logistics make imported food and vehicles expensive, and rents near the waterfront have risen with the finance and hospitality sectors.

Johannesburg, South Africa

PAYE runs from 18% to 45% with a rebate that lifts the effective threshold, and UIF takes 1% up to a low ceiling. Everyday costs are modest, but rent, private security and medical aid are often paid separately from tax, so the gap between a professional salary and a comfortable one is wider than the brackets suggest.
