South African Public Opinion on Taxes and Federalism
This report investigates the policy preferences of registered South African voters on taxes and federalism. It does so via two questions on whether the government should increase or decrease taxes and whether the government should strengthen the role of the provinces and municipalities in the provision of services. The questions were posed in terms of a 'future coalition' in April of 2024. The Foundation would suggest that these preferences can now be translated into policy preferences for the current coalition government (Government of National Unity) that governs South Africa. The data in the report is drawn from a survey of 1 835 demographically and geographically representative registered voters conducted in April 2024. That survey had a margin of error of 4%.
