The good news is that taxpayers have been given some money back with the Income Tax tables and there are no significant tax increases. Hopefully, this will help the economy to grow as it will encourage consumers to increase expenditure (about 60% of GDP depends on consumer spending). 

Company tax has also not been increased and some reforms are mooted ahead of a plan to reduce corporate tax rates.
 
We end off with some tax tables conveniently summarising what’s new, and what’s not.

Budget 2020: Will it Please Moody’s?
ArticleImage Whilst taxpayers can enjoy some additional cash, the fact is that of all the ratings agencies, only Moody’s has not yet downgraded South Africa’s debt to junk status. 

We look at the initiatives that government plans to undertake to avert a downgrade; but is time on our side?
