BUDGET SPEECH 2018
Personal income tax:
This is what you’ll pay!
This year’s budget address saw an increase in the Value Added Tax (VAT) rate (set at 15% up from previous 14%; last adjusted in 1993) effective 1 April 2018, which is estimated to result in additional revenue of R22.9 billion. This attracted the most attention from media, lobby groups and opposition parties, with Treasury stating South Africa is now more in line with global averages.
South African taxpayers face an already high tax burden compared to the rest of the world, and no-one was spared. Many of the taxes will affect those on different income levels but as was expected, the high-income earners and wealthier individuals will have to contribute more towards the fiscus as Finance Minister Malusi Gigaba attempted to at least narrow the gaping budget deficit in the years ahead.
