Tell National Treasury to drop VAT on chicken!
Make your submission now.
Minister Enoch Godongwana is inviting South Africans to share suggestions for the 2026 Budget. This is your chance to speak up for affordable food.
Chicken is South Africa’s most affordable protein — but it’s still taxed at 15% VAT while other staples are VAT-free. We believe chicken should be added to the zero-rated basket to help families put nutritious food on the table.
By completing the form below, we’ll forward your message directly to National Treasury on your behalf. You can also read more about our VAT-free chicken campaign here.
What happens next?
Your submission will be forwarded to National Treasury within 24 hours. The deadline for Budget Tips is 16 February 2026.
By submitting the form, you confirm that you have read and understood our Terms and Conditions and that you are 18 or over, or you are a parent or guardian submitting on behalf of someone under 18.
