Its retailers and service providers recalculating their pricing to accommodate the 0.5% increase in VAT from 14.5% to 15% under the Finance Act (No.2), 2022 effective 1 Jan 2023. This tax was originally 15% and was reduced to 14.5% on 1 January 2020 so this is just it going back to its original figure.

    Holy squeezed dry blood stones Batman! Vat was actually down all this time?! Lol, I honestly didn’t even feel it! After all, it’s hard to tell the difference between being bitten by a hundred ants and ninety nine ants!

      True you just feel the same pain.

    Guys. How is PAYE in other countries? Is it higher or lower than in Zimbabwe. What about in SA?

    1. The Empress

      This is one of those times that a direct comparison is not really possible or relavant. But go ahead and Google it if you want.

    These are issues our people should put on the ballot…. especially how public finance is being managed ,in comparison we are already heavily taxed but what are we getting in terms of public goods and services.
