Proposed SABC tax unconstitutional?

5 Nov 2009 09:574 commentsBizLike
NEWSWATCH: The 1% tax proposed by the Communications minister Siphiwe Nyanda may be unconstitutional, according to the DA, reports Polity Org. Meanwhile, the Treasury apparently knew nothing about the proposed tax, writes Moneyweb, and opposition parties reckon that, while special levies are unlikely, pressure is building, says Business Report.
The minister says the national broadcaster spends about R250 million trying to collect licence fees, and that's why he wants taxpayers to cough up an extra 1% tax, according to IOL, which also reports that the SABC has set up a task team to take a look at the draft bill, of which it says it was unaware.

Fu@%& the SABC-
My profession Is broadcasting why should I pay tax to a institution that owes me money .
And what guarantee is there thay the same thing wont happen again……………I refuse to sponsor R 30 000 a month petrol allowances…..and that’s just what we know of Posted on 5 Nov 2009 11:28
Typical!-
If the SABC actually broadcast programs worth watching and thereby displaying value for money, perhaps viewers would be more forthcoming instead of considering license fees a grudge purchase.

However, as is so narrow minded typical, instead, yet again - penalize, penalize, penalize!

When will the mindset change? Posted on 5 Nov 2009 14:23

DSTV doesn't have defaulters.-
Reasons:
1. They have decent programmes that people want to watch and are prepared to pay for.
2. They only make their service available to those that pay.

Stop wasting tax payers' money on propping up unnecessary organisations that don't work, and don't deliver! Posted on 19 Nov 2009 12:52
