It’s budget time again

With all eyes on Wednesday’s budget, which will be presented in Parliament, the South African Institute of Chartered Accountants (SAICA) shares its top five wish list in terms of announcements:

  • Amend legislation to stop unfair overcharging of provisional taxpayers.
  • Extend the training tax break past this October.
  • Simplify VAT registrations.
  • Raise the tax threshold for small business corporations.
  • Remove anomalies in existing small business capital gains tax relief.

It may be too late to have your wish list attended to be Pravin Gordhan, but remember that you can submit budget tips throughout the year, as the campaign runs all year. Visit Visit Treasury.gov.za for more information.
