# The DA says it has filed a supplementary affidavit with the Western Cape High Court over the value-added tax matter. The party says the supplementary affidavit is necessary because, despite the scrapping of the 0.5-percent VAT hike, the increase will still come into effect on 1st May, unless the court specifically issues an order to prevent this. The DA says the court must specifically issue an order to stop the VAT increase, on the basis that the Fiscal Framework was unlawfully adopted in Parliament.
