Next budget to receive P2.6bn bonus

Annually, SACU's five members share revenues collected under the Common Revenue Pool (CRP). However, for budgetary expediency, the amounts shared are estimates subject to an audit that is carried out later that either requires members to refund CPR or receive an outstanding payment.

This week, BusinessWeek learnt that after three years of refunding SACU for overpayments, Botswana is due to receive a settlement of the adjustment for underpayment from the union. It is expected that the underpayment will be confirmed at a SACU Council of Ministers meeting in December.
