South Africa's finance minister cancels VAT hike, causing a R75 billion budget gap.
South Africa's Finance Minister Enoch Godongwana has decided to maintain the current 15% Value-Added Tax (VAT) rate, reversing a planned increase to 15.5%.
This decision follows intense political pressure from opposition parties and legal challenges in court.
The move will create a R75 billion budget shortfall, prompting the government to seek alternative spending cuts and revenue measures to ensure fiscal sustainability.
