Isiphakamiso: Ukulungiswa koMkhawulo Wokubhaliswa kwe-VAT kusuka ku-R1 million kuya ku-R2 million
1. Umongo Womlando Nokulungiswa Kokukhuphuka Kwentengo
Umkhawulo wokubhaliswa kwe-VAT ophoqelelwe uhlale ungashintshi ku-R1 million kusukela ngo-2009. Eminyakeni eyi-17 edlule, amandla okuthenga eRandi anciphe kakhulu. Uma kulungiselelwa ukwehla kwamandla emali okuqongelelekayo, i-R1 million ngo-2009 ilingana ne-R2.3 million ngaphezulu kwanamuhla. Ngokugcina isimo sikhona, uMgcinimafa wehlisa ngempumelelo isithiyo sokungena ohlelweni lwe-VAT minyaka yonke, ebamba amabhizinisi amancane nasengozini kakhulu umthetho wokuqala ka-2009 owawuhlose ukuwavikela. Ukushintshela ku-R2 million kuyisinqumo esibalulekile ukuze kuboniswe amaqiniso ezomnotho amanje.
2. Ukuvikela Inzuzo Encane
Amabhizinisi amancane asebenza endaweni enokuncintisana okukhulu lapho izinzuzo zivame ukuba zincane kakhulu. Ebhizinisini eliguqula imali engaphezu kwesigidi esingu-R1 kuya ku-R2 million ngonyaka, isisindo sokuphatha nesezimali sokuthobela i-VAT siphezulu kakhulu. Lapho la mabhizinisi ephoqeleka ukubhalisa, abhekene nesimo "sokulahlekelwa yimali": akhuphule amanani futhi alahlekelwe amakhasimende kubancintisani abangakahleleki, noma amukele izindleko ezingu-15% futhi abhekane nokungakwazi ukukhokha izikweletu. Ukuphakamisa umkhawulo kuvumela lawa ma-SMME ukuthi ahlale encintisana ngentengo ngenkathi ezinza.
3. Ukunciphisa Umthwalo Wokuphatha Nokuthobela Imithetho
Ukuthobela i-VAT akuyona nje izindleko zezimali; kuyindleko enkulu yokukhiqiza. Abanikazi bamabhizinisi amancane ngokuvamile bangabaqhubi abayinhloko, ababhali bezimali, nabaphathi. Ubunzima bokufaka i-VAT—kanye nezijeziso ezinzima zamaphutha okubhala—buphambukisa ukugxila okubalulekile ekukhuleni nasekudaleni imisebenzi. Ukwandisa umkhawulo kunikeza “igumbi lokuphefumula elilawulayo,” okuvumela amabhizinisi ukuthi akhulise izinhlelo zawo zangaphakathi ngaphambi kokubhekana nobunzima be-VAT.
4. Ukuvimbela Ukwehluleka Kwebhizinisi Nokusekela Ukudalwa Kwemisebenzi
“Indawo ephakathi elahlekile” yomnotho waseNingizimu Afrika—amabhizinisi azama ukushintsha kusuka emabhizinisini amancane aye ezinkampanini ezizinzile—avame ukuwa lapho kutholakala khona inzuzo engu-R1 million. Ukwenyuka okungazelelwe kwezimfuneko zokuthobela imithetho ngokuvamile kuyimbangela eyinhloko yokwehluleka. Ama-SMME angumgogodla wokuqashwa eNingizimu Afrika; ngokunikeza lolu sizo, uMnyango Wezezimali ukhuthaza ukwenziwa ngokusemthethweni ngaphandle kokusongelwa ngokushesha kokuklinywa kokuphatha.
Isiphetho:
Ngenxa yezinga eliphezulu lokuhluleka kwamabhizinisi amancane kanye neminyaka ecishe ibe ngamashumi amabili yokuwohloka kokwenyuka kwamanani entengo, nginxusa uNgqongqoshe ukuthi alungise umkhawulo we-VAT ube yizigidi ezimbili zamaRandi. Lokhu kuyindlela yokungenelela ewusizo nenomthelela omkhulu ezovikela umgogodla womnotho wethu futhi ikhuthaze ukukhula okusimeme.
