# The Freedom Front Plus is warning that a tax revolt is to be expected if there are further tax hikes, no economic growth, and no improvement in service delivery. This follows the passing of the 2025/2026 national budget in the National Assembly on Wednesday, which includes a contentious 0.5-percent value-added tax increase. The FF Plus says increasing tax, is counterproductive and nothing but a desperate short-term measure, that will eventually let the country sink even deeper into a financial crisis.
