Effective for tax years ending on or after 31 March 2023, the corporate income tax rate is reduced by one percentage point to 27%.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cChanges to corporate income tax have the largest impact on investor behaviour \u2013 influencing jobs, wages and prices \u2013 and can support economic growth.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Treasury said government\u2019s role is to find a balance between a reasonable tax burden that minimises the negative effect on investment and reduces incentives for base erosion and profit shifting, while ensuring that companies and their stakeholders contribute fairly to tax revenues.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSouth Africa\u2019s corporate income tax rate exceeds the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development average of 23%.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMany countries have reduced their rates over the past 15 years. In contrast, South Africa\u2019s statutory rate has remained at 28%. Given that many countries with strong investment and trading ties to South Africa have significantly lower rates, this provides a strong incentive for tax avoidance.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>Source: South African Government News Agency<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Effective for tax years ending on or after March 2023, Corporate Income Tax will be reduced by a percentage point in a move aimed at encouraging investment and curbing avoidance.This is part of a basket of tax proposals that National Treasury has table&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.6 -
