Parties must reconsider the VAT increase
Post
|April 23, 2025

-
The decision has been met with dismay from many, who believe it will affect the poor and vulnerable. It was disheartening to see Parliament members celebrating a VAT increase, given its potential impact on low-income households.
It was absolutely shameful. This move seems to contradict the goal of reducing poverty. In light of the consequences, it’s crucial for political parties to reconsider the VAT increase.
