SBC plans study on SMME hurdles

A member of the board Dr Howard Sigwele told a group of businesspeople from Palapye and surrounding areas that they will be approached for information during the study. Sigwele was speaking after the businesspeople raised concern about laws and statutory instruments that hinder growth of the private sector.

A businessman raised concern on Value Added Tax (VAT) saying it puts an administrative burden on small businesses. "VAT could have started selectively: it affects all small businesses," said the businessman.
