ISITATIMENDE SEMIDILI - sikhishwe uMnyango Wezezimali Kazwelonke
Ukukhishwa ukuze umphakathi uphawule: Umbiko Wephaneli Elizimele mayelana nokubuyekezwa kohlu lwamanje lwezinto ze-VAT ezilinganiselwe
UNgqongqoshe Wezezimali namuhla ukhipha umbiko Wethimba Elizimele mayelana nokubuyekezwa kohlu lwamanje lwezinto ezingakalwa ngentela ye-VAT ukuze umphakathi uphawule ngazo zingama-31 kuNcwaba 2018. UNgqongqoshe uqoke leli thimba ngemuva kwesimemezelo esabelweni sezimali ngoFebhuwari. yokwenyuka kwezinga le-value-added tax (VAT) ukusuka kumaphesenti ayi-14 ukuya kwayi-15 kusukela mhla lu-1 kuMbasa wezi-2018.
Iphaneli lethule umbiko walo kuNgqongqoshe ngoMsombuluko, mhla ziyisi-6 kuNcwaba 2018. Liphakamisa ukuthi lezi zinto ezilandelayo nazo zingathathwa njengeziro:
• Isinkwa esimhlophe, ufulawa wesinkwa nofulawa wekhekhe;
• Imikhiqizo yenhlanzeko;
• Umfaniswano wesikole; futhi
• Amanabukeni, okuhlanganisa indwangu namanabukeni abantu abadala.
Ithimba liphinde lincome ukuthi uhulumeni kufanele asheshise ukuhlinzekwa kwemikhiqizo yamahhala yenhlanzeko kwabampofu kanye nokuthi ukukhishwa kwenani lomfaniswano wesikole kwenziwe kuphela uma kungahlukaniswa nezingubo ezijwayelekile. Entweni ngayinye enconyiwe, iphaneli iphakamisa ukuthi uMnyango Wezezimali Kazwelonke wenze omunye umsebenzi ukuze “uqinisekise ukuthi izinzuzo zokulinganisa iqanda zitholwa abathengi futhi azibanjwa ngabakhiqizi”.
Lo mbiko ubuye uveze ezinye izinhlelo ngasohlangothini lwezindleko ezizosiza amakhaya ampofu, njengokuqiniswa koHlelo Lukazwelonke Lokudla Okunempilo Ezikoleni kanye nokwenyuka kweSibonelelo Sezingane Nempesheni Yabadala.
Iphaneli yanikezwa igunya lokuthi:
- Linganisa uhlu lwamanje lwezinto zokudla ezilinganiselwe,
- Cabangela ukufakwa kwezinto ezengeziwe ezinesilinganiso esinguziro, kanye
- Cabangela ezinye izindlela (okungukuthi, izinhlelo zezindleko) ukuze kuncishiswe umthelela wokwanda kwemindeni empofu.
Njengoba kwakunjalo ngemibiko ye-Davis Tax Committee, umbiko wephaneli unikeza uNgqongqoshe Wezezimali iqoqo lezincomo. Lezi zincomo zincike ekutheni umphakathi uphawule kabanzi, okuhlanganisa nokuphawula okuzokwenziwa ngesikhathi sokulalelwa kwePhalamende. Ngokuthatha izincomo kanye nemibono yomphakathi, kanye nokuhlolwa kwezincomo zoMgcinimafa Kazwelonke kanye noPhiko Lwezentela LwaseNingizimu Afrika (i-SARS), uNgqongqoshe Wezezimali uyobe esenquma ukuthi yiziphi izincomo zephaneli okufanele zisetshenziswe. Ezinye zezinguquko zingase zifakwe emthethweni wentela osalungiswa okwamanje osacutshungulwa yiKomidi Elimisiwe Lephalamende Lezezimali.
Amazwana aphendula izincomo zephaneli angasiza kakhulu uma ehlanganisa ukucabangela ukuthi:
- Izincomo zizohlomulisa kakhulu imindeni empofu, nokuthi leyo nzuzo ingafinyelelwa yini kangcono ngezinye izindlela, isibonelo, ngezinhlelo zikahulumeni zezindleko;
- Zonke izici ezibalulekile zemibandela yokusebenza ebuyekeziwe yamhla zingama-29 kuNhlaba wezi-2018 zihlolisisiwe embikweni;
- Izincomo zephaneli zihambisana nezinye izinjongo zenqubomgomo zikahulumeni ezifanele (isb. ukuthi ukudla okunconyelwe ukulinganisa iqanda kuyahambisana nenqubomgomo yoMnyango Wezempilo mayelana nokudla); futhi
- Izincomo zihambisana nohlaka lwezimali olwamukelwe yiPhalamende.
UNgqongqoshe uthanda ukubonga amalungu eQembu Elizimele, ngaphansi kokuqondisa kukasihlalo uSolwazi Ingrid Woolard, ngalo mbiko, olungiswe ngaphansi kweminqamulajuqu eqinile.
