Stephen Grootes speaks to Daniel Hatfield, CEO of Edge Growth, about what Budget 2026 signals for South Africa’s small and medium-sized enterprises. The Budget introduced significant relief measures, including raising the mandatory VAT registration threshold to R2.3 million and the voluntary threshold to R120,000, easing compliance pressure and improving cash flow for smaller firms. Capital gains tax relief for small business disposals has also been expanded, alongside inflationary adjustments to turnover tax, aimed at supporting micro-enterprises.
