New or higher taxes won’t work, and could be unconstitutional – MARTIN VAN STADEN and JACQUES JONKER
The trade union federation Cosatu recently called for tax increases, particularly on the wealthy, to arrest South Africa’s economic down spiral. But economist Arthur B Laffer, known for popularising the Laffer curve, shows us that beyond a certain point, tax revenue will decline as tax rates increase. It is curious, then, that with tax collection in South Africa declining, government appears ready to answer Cosatu’s call to raise tax rates and introduce new taxes, among other things to try and pay for the National Health Insurance scheme. A move that will not only backfire, but is also clearly unreasonable and incompatible with the Rule of Law.

The FMF Board, Directors, consultants and staff wish our members, friends and fans a rejuvenating Festive Season. We look forward in 2020 to working toward a future filled with growth, employment and hope.
