VAT up 1%, fuel up 52c/l, sin taxes up and no inflation adjustments to the tax brackets.

This is most definitely a Cyril budget, not a chance in hell Zuma would have raised vat, instead he'd have slapped on a 50% tax bracket for the wealthy more CGT and divvy taxes and maybe even a wealth tax. Overall knowing the economic reality we're in this is an okay effort.

Now we need to fix the SoEs or get rid of them, wipe out all corruption and get our debt levels down like Trevor did. It's going to be a long process.

We pay 23% VAT and the UK slightly less. Yous guys are lucky.
I started here with nothing and still have most of it left.

Remind me about all the things we pay for that people get for free on that end. Education, medical, a proper state pension, decent public transport, there must be more. Oh and what about the things you don't need at all like armed response, burglar bars, electric fences, a car... Looking at value for tax money it really sucks here. For now of course, Squirrel will be fixing things up slowly but surely.

Plus we get huge discounts when 65 years old like half price for public transport. Plus tax deductions at year end for medication, groceries, utilities, rent etc. Anything you buy or pay for you are asked for your tax number and it gets entered on your personal tax work page. Just rubbing your nose in it.  :))
Even with the high VAT, food is still cheaper here though.
