Stephen Grootes speaks to Edward Kieswetter, Commissioner of the South African Revenue Service about the revenue service surpassing the R2 trillion mark in net tax collections for the first time, reaching R2.01 trillion in the 2025/26 financial year. The milestone comes despite a challenging economic backdrop, including sluggish growth, load shedding and global uncertainty, and reflects stronger compliance efforts, improved administrative efficiency and support from key tax categories such as VAT and PAYE.
In other interviews, Raksha Darji, Principal economist at the Competition Commission talks about the latest Cost of Living Report, which shows that despite inflation easing, South African households remain under sustained pressure from persistently high prices for essential goods and services. The findings highlight how costs for electricity, water, food and education have risen far faster than headline inflation in recent years, with utilities alone increasing sharply and continuing to drive household expenses.
