More Items Asked to be Exempted from VAT

In order to ease the burden on poor South African households, many stakeholders have called on the government to remove value-added taxes (VAT) on chicken, as well as luxury taxes on smartphones.

This comes after President Cyril Ramaphosa highlighted plans to assist poorer households in which the Government of National Unity (GNU) will seek to remove VAT from more essential food items. Likewise, the South African Poultry Association (SAPA) this week urged the government to remove the 15% VAT from chicken portions.

“Chicken is not only South Africa’s most widespread meat but also an important source of cheap protein for millions of low-income families,” Willie Aucamp from the Democratic Alliance said. “The far-reaching impact of abolishing 15% VAT on these products, including chicken, cannot be overemphasised.”
