The South African tax system is fairly responsive to changes in economic performance. VAT revenue and custom duties grow faster than household consumption and import value. VAT revenue and custom duties are perfectly elastic to changes in their bases in the long run. Total tax revenue growth did not match the economy's growth. The government can improve the tax system through good governance, strong leadership, and economic reforms.
