# The EFF has welcomed the Western Cape High Court’s decision to suspend the 0.5-percent value-added tax increase, preventing the tax hike from taking effect on Thursday. This decision was in response to a legal challenge brought by the DA and the EFF, which contested both the VAT rate adjustment, and the resolutions by the […]
# Die voorsitter van die DA se Federale Raad, Helen Zille, sê die Wes-Kaapse Hooggeregshof-uitspraak dat ‘n BTW-verhoging amptelik opgeskort moet word, is ‘n sege vir alle Suid-Afrikaners. Sy sê die besluit verseker dat veranderinge aan die BTW-koers behoorlik deur die parlement goedgekeur moet word voordat dit in werking tree. Die DA-woordvoerder, Willie Aucamp, sê […]
# The DA Federal Council chairperson Helen Zille says the Western Cape High Court’s ruling that a VAT hike must officially be suspended is a victory for all South Africans.

# The Alternative Information and Development Centre is calling for the implementation of progressive tax and revenue-raising options, and increased expenditure to address the multiple crises South Africans face. This comes as the National Treasury has withdrawn the proposed 0.5-percent value-added tax hike following weeks of pressure from across the political spectrum. The AIDC’s Aliya Chikte […]
# Die Alternatiewe Inligting- en Ontwikkelingsentrum vra dat progressiewe belasting- en inkomste-opsies ingestel word, en groter uitgawes aangegaan word om Suid-Afrikaners se krisisse aan te spreek. Dit volg nadat die Nasionale Tesourie die voorgestelde BTW-verhoging van 0,5-persentasiepunte geskrap het ná druk van reg oor die politieke spektrum. Die sentrum se woordvoerder, Aliya Chikte, sê die Parlement […]
# Die EFF het aanvullende hofdokumente by die Wes-Kaapse Hoogeregshof ingedien om in te gryp in die voortgesette regsuitdaging met betrekking tot die fiskale raamwerk en belastingvoorstelle wat deur die Parlement aangeneem is. Die tesourier-generaal van die EFF, Omphile Maotwe, sê die ingryping is gegrond op die party se vasberadenheid om grondwetlike beginsels te handhaaf. […]
# The EFF says it has filed supplementary court papers in the Western Cape High Court to intervene in the ongoing legal challenge concerning the fiscal framework and revenue proposals adopted by Parliament.

# 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 […]
# Die DA sê hy het ʼn ondersteunende beëdigde verklaring by die Wes-Kaapse Hooggeregshof ingedien oor die BTW-verhoging. Die party sê dis nodig omdat die BTW-verhoging van 0,5-persentasiepunte ten spyte van die skrapping steeds op 1 Mei in werking tree, tensy die hof ʼn spesifieke bevel uitreik om dit te keer. Die DA sê die […]
