A 'solidarity' tax is under serious consideration by government. The brazen gall of this is staggering. The Covid Solidarity Fund was generously contributed to by all - and half was promptly stolen. And you want more?
It is reported by Bloomberg that a government policy document (sighted by BB) proposes a 3-year 'solidarity tax'. A further doc by Wits' Centre for Inequality Studies proposes that this tax start at 3% of assets exceeding R3.6m, rising in steps to 5% and 7%.
And lest we forget that Mabuza's answer, in parliament to the theft of Covid funds, was that government 'did not know' that the money would be stolen. This is the level of idiocy with which our taxes and donations are dealt with.
