Tax stability and predictability for economic sustainability

Prior to deciding to introduce or redomicile a business in any country, an investor must always consider how favourable, stable, and predictable the country’s tax system is. The primary rationale for this is the need for certainty and guarantee regarding the future sustainability of investment in the host country. This predictability ensures that the investor can plan for their business, which includes planning ahead for tax liabilities and allocating resources appropriately and efficiently. On the other hand, a tax regime that is unstable and unpredictable has the opposite effect, that is, it hinders an investor’s power to consciously make investment decisions, which would ultimately be a deterrent, leading to capital flight and reduced economic activity. Foreign direct investment (FDI) is particularly sensitive to tax stability and predictability, as investors weigh the risks associated with potential changes in tax laws. Countries with consistent and transparent tax regimes are more likely to attract FDI, contributing to economic development and job creation.

Surviving the impact of the electricity crisis on food production

Persistent loadshedding continues to pose a significant threat to South Africa’s food supply chain and agricultural production. Unforeseen power cuts affect irrigation schedules, heating, fruit and wine processing, milling, bakeries, abattoirs, cold chain logistic and exports. Extreme bouts of rotational power cuts and sporadic changes to the loadshedding stages, have in certain instances resulted in farms and processors having to discard their produce, with farmers reporting losses of between 30% to 50%. The frustration within the agricultural sector is driving farmers and agri-processors to find new solutions to mitigate their losses and manage theirrisk.
