南非逆转了增值税增加计划,面临750亿兰特的预算缺口。 South Africa reverses VAT increase plan, facing a 75 billion rand budget gap.

南非政府已扭转其提高增值税率的计划,造成预算短缺约750亿兰特。 South Africa's government has reversed its plan to increase the Value-Added Tax (VAT) rate, creating a budget shortfall of around 75 billion rand. 财政部长Enoch Godongwana现在必须制定新的财政框架来解决这一赤字问题。 Finance Minister Enoch Godongwana will now have to devise a new fiscal framework to address this deficit. 这一决定是在各政党的强烈反对和面对经济挑战的公众抵抗之后作出的。 The decision came after strong opposition from political parties and public resistance amid economic challenges. 虽然反弹被视为反对增税者的胜利, 但令人担心政府会如何在不削减基本服务的情况下, 弥补损失的收入。 While the reversal is seen as a victory for those opposing the tax hike, it raises concerns about how the government will cover the lost revenue without cutting essential services.
