"Don’t do it Tito Mboweni" - AA

The AA has released a statement asking Finance Minister Tito Mboweni not to increase fuel levies, arguing that this would be damaging for the country.

It noted that Mboweni faced an enormous challenge ahead of his 2020 Budget Speech, but said that targeting fuel levies would not be the best way to deal with the situation.

They don't care.

 

[ToxicBunny]

Yeah I expect a fairly massive hike in all the levies and sin taxes and and and...

 

[Gaz{M}]

I say do it. It's the only tax that taxi's end up paying.

But give me a PAYE rebate on my fuel purchases.

 

[Enzo Matrix]

This year's % increases will be higher than before. The AA must just be looking for some free publicity. We all know what's coming

They probably deduct it as a business loss - with their income being cash.

Petrol stations will have to deal with people filling up then driving away without paying...

Doubt it. For that to happen, taxis would have to declare their full income and pay tax. Doubt they actually do.

They definitely don't...

If they declare 10% of their income, it would be a lot....

[LazyLion]

The financial assault on the tax payers continues....

 

[GhostSixFour]

I can't wait for Pick and pay to use a 5c increase as the justification for charging R5 more per bread.

That's exactly what I'm saying, they'll declare their full expenses - and hardly any income. Hence a loss.

Shouldn't Alcoholics Anonymous be more concerned about the sin taxes being increased than fuel levies?

I know...there are electric vehicles with better range than my car. But yes, anything with a 4.8L V8 is going to make my car look economical...good luck!
