Show Notes

This is a big year for South Africa. Load shedding returned literally straight after the State of the Nation Address, creating a difficult foundation for the Budget Speech. The headlines are full of political activity in the build-up to elections. There's a lot going on.

Tertius Troost is in the Tax Consulting team at Mazars, so this is a busy month to say the least. He took time away from a hectic February tax diary to share insights as a preview to the Budget Speech.

Why is this important? Well, as a South African, the Budget Speech directly impacts you in many different ways, ranging from direct changes to your taxes to the way in which your taxes are spent in the country. It's critical to understand the key pressure points for our fiscus.
