Overview

The Tax Faculty is pleased to host the Post-Budget Speech: Economic and Tax Analysis webinar on 25 February 2022 with tax expert Prof Jackie Arendse and economist Dawie Roodt.

The Annual Budget Speech is always a key date on the financial calendar and this year has a unique focus, considering the Covid-19 pandemic, ongoing economic challenges, rising inflation, increasing unemployment, and a shrinking tax base. The SARS Statistics for 2020/21 reveal that tax revenue collections decreased R106 billion (7.8%) from the previous year, yet government spending continues to rise, along with the country’s debt service costs. 
 
This year, the key questions are:

• How will the finance minister balance the budget? 
• Are tax increases inevitable? 
• What about wealth taxes... and environmental taxes? 
• Will we see a decrease in company tax rates as indicated last year? 
• How will the proposed 2022 tax amendments affect your business and your personal finances?
