The National Treasury has proposed the introduction of value-added tax(VAT) on financial services, including forex transactions and cheque processing.

In proposals under the 2024 Finance Bill, the exchequer has amended the list of VAT-exempt services, eliminating the addition of foreign exchange transactions, including the supply of foreign drafts and international money orders from VAT.
