How it works

We read 5 past TAX2601 papers and rank every topic by how often it's asked and for how many marks. The oldest paper is free in full, plus the first 5 questions of every other. R79 until 28 February 2027 opens the rest — no auto-renewal. Each paper has a thread; we don’t publish answers.

Tax rates and thresholds change every year. Use the tables for your exam year, not the ones in these papers.

Send us a TAX2601 memo — get TAX2601 free

We hold 52 questions across 5 papers — and no answers. One memo gives every student the official answers for that paper, and gets you TAX2601 free, permanently.

What’s a memo?

The official marking guide for an exam session — the answers the markers used and how marks were allocated. UNISA doesn’t publish them; lecturers, tutors and past students sometimes have one. We verify it before anything is unlocked, and photos of a printed memo are fine.
