Minister Mboweni: We will not rest until we have fundamentally altered the structure of this economy by lowering barriers to entry, broadening ownership patterns, raising productivity and lowering the cost of doing business.

Addressing corruption
The Department of Justice and Constitutional Development is allocated R1.8 billion to improve business processes. This allocation will support our brave law
enforcement agents in the fight against crime and corruption.
Retirement fund reform
I can announce that annuitisation for provident funds takes effect from 1 March 2021, and provident fund members will continue to enjoy a tax deduction on their contributions.
The personal income tax brackets will be increased by 5 per cent, which is more than inflation. This means that if you are earning above the new tax-free threshold of R87 300, you will have at least an extra R756 in your pocket after 1 March 2021. #RSABudget2021
Tax policy changes
The corporate income tax rate will be lowered to 27 per cent for companies with years of assessment commencing on or after 1 April 2022. #RSABudget2021
Economic outlook
Global economic growth is expected to rebound to 5.5 per cent in 2021 before moderating slightly to 4.2 per cent in 2022, spurred on by the expected rollout of Covid-19 vaccines and other additional policy initiatives. #RSABudget2021
Medium term spending plans and job creation
We have cumulatively made R83.2 billion available for the public employment programmes since the 2020 Special Adjustments Budget. We are now augmenting this by R11 billion for the Presidential Youth Employment Initiative #RSABudget2021

The Bank will require an additional R7 billion over the medium-term to support its restructuring.
