How Taxes are Budgeted in South Africa

The government gets taxes and levies from people who work (income tax), from companies and from VAT (the tax that people pay on goods that they buy). This money goes into the national revenue fund. The minister of finance and the finance department prepare the national budget for the country which says how the money in the national revenue fund will be allocated.
