Sonti, Ms NP to ask the Minister of Finance

What has been the breakdown of tax revenue in terms of Personal Income Tax, Corporate Tax, Levies and Value-added Tax since 27 April 1994?

Reply:

The following data on tax revenue is available on the National Treasury website and is based on data published in past documents like the annual Budget Review and Tax Statistics (also available on the National Treasury and SARS websites).

Historical tax revenue collections are published each year in the statistical annexure of the Budget Review. The latest data for the fiscal years from 2000/01 onwards can be found on pages 192 to 195 of the 2018 Budget Review. In order to cover the full period requested, Budget Review tables from 2011 to 2018 were consulted, all of which are available on our website. Using this source, the table below shows the breakdown of tax revenue across the three main components of personal income tax, corporate income tax and value-added tax since the 1993/94 fiscal year, alongside total tax revenue collections (in R 000’s).
