Expect a 2% VAT increase

I contend that for a nation to try to tax itself into prosperity is like a man standing in a bucket and trying to lift himself up by the handle.”​

South Africans are so overtaxed.
Too much government porkers..
Cut spending and bailouts for SOE.
We need Doge - like now.

 
Should this actually go through, officially, is it Now a good time to buy something expensive? Like a new car, or electronics?
VAT will increase, but maybe just by 1%, but yes, buy before 1 April. Some retailers will actually start increasing their prices today since they know whats coming
 
At least with VAT more of the populace contributes, no?
I'm all for replacing:
  • PAYE tax
  • Capital Gains Tax
  • Fuel levy/tax
  • RAF tax
  • Sugar Tax/Health Promotion levy
  • Import Duties Tax
  • Tyre Tax
  • CO2 Tax (on motor vehicle emissions)
  • Plastic bag levy Tax
  • Inheritance tax / Estate duty
  • Transfer Duty Tax
  • Company income tax
  • Dividend Tax
  • Interest taxation
  • Lump-sum pre-retirement tax
  • Lump-sums upon retirement tax
  • Securities Transfer Tax
  • Sin Tax (on Cigs, Drinks)
  • Skills development levy tax
with a 30% VAT applied to all

Unfortunately, they just increasing VAT and keeping all other taxes as well.

I remember when GST/VAT was 4%.
 
I called it! I always know how the DA protects us!
