Finance Minister Enoch Godongwana’s announcement of a VAT enhance to 16% over the subsequent two years has raised severe considerations for South African households.
In an unique interview on eNCA, Annaline van der Poel, COO of Debt Rescue, explains the actual impression of this hike. She factors out that whereas 0.5% could not sound like a lot, it’ll have an effect on nearly every part we purchase, aside from a handful of VAT-exempt items, making each day bills much more unaffordable.
South Africans are already grappling with excessive meals costs, rising electrical energy prices, and an ongoing cost-of-living disaster. This VAT enhance will solely add to the strain, forcing customers to rethink their budgets and spending habits.
