I wholeheartedly agree with you - but on the flip side, I want to stay out of jail - they got us by the short and curlies
What would be great, is if they institute a new tax for crypto-profits, which is the same as Capital Gains tax. I will pay the 16-18% with a smile. Its the 40%+ tax rate that is really a bitter pill to swallow. I think they will make more tax money charging a lower rate, since people will then willingly declare their crypto profits. Having it at the same rate as your normal income tax rate is just forcing people to NOT want to pay tax. They make their 14% VAT out of you as well when you spend the profits. So they really should look into this - but does SARS have the mental capacity to see sense in this?
