Taxi Industry only pays R5m in tax
11 May 2021
While the minibus taxi industry is demanding government subsidies, the entire industry pays only R5 million in taxes, as a reply to a DA parliamentary question reveals.
The DA calls on the South African Revenue Service (SARS) to act against tax dodgers in the taxi industry, to ensure that this very lucrative industry pays its fair share.
Now that it has confirmed being aware of this tax evasion, we will request that SARS brief parliament on the enforcement action it intends to take to bring tax dodgers to book.
In reply to a DA parliamentary question, the Minister of Finance has revealed that only approximately R5 million in tax is collected from the entire minibus taxi industry in South Africa.
