🇿🇦 SA Budget 2026 — Key Takeaways
🧾 1. No Major Personal Tax Hikes (Some Relief)
Government did not increase personal income tax rates.
Some tax relief provided via adjustments and incentives.
👉 This is mildly positive for disposable income (especially middle earners).

💰 2. Big Boost for Investors & Retirement Savers
Tax-Free Savings Account (TFSA) annual limit increased
➜ from R36,000 → R47,000

Retirement fund tax-deductible contribution cap increased
➜ from R350,000 → R430,000.

✅ Clear signal: Treasury wants to push private savings over state dependency.

🧑‍💼 3. Massive Help for SMEs
VAT registration threshold increased
➜ from R1 million → R2.3 million turnover.

This reduces admin burden for small businesses and improves:
cashflow
compliance costs
growth runway
➡️ Very pro-entrepreneur move.

⛽ 4. Fuel & Carbon Levies Up
Fuel levy increases
Carbon tax increases
Logistics costs go up
Inflationary pressure risk remains
Consumer spending likely to stay tight

📉 5. Deficit Still Elevated

➜ 78% of GDP this year (with plans to stabilise).

🏗️ 6. Spending Still Rising
