Godongwana reveals the budget item causing VAT hike chaos in South Africa

_{//business-finance.news-articles.net/content/202 .. item-causing-vat-hike-chaos-in-south-africa.html}
^{Published in Business and Finance on Sunday, March 9th 2025 at 15:20 GMT by BusinessTech}

Finance Minister Enoch Godongwana is sticking to his guns about hiking VAT in South Africa, even if it's at a lower rate than before.

This expense has led to considerations of raising VAT to fund the grant's extension beyond its current term, which ends in March 2024. Godongwana emphasized that while the grant has been crucial for many, its funding has put considerable pressure on the national budget, prompting debates on fiscal policy adjustments, including the possibility of a VAT hike, to ensure its sustainability.
