Industry players present opposing arguments on the 45% tariff on imported clothing - on The Money Show.
The South African Revenue Service is delaying the implementation of a 45% tariff on clothing imported into South Africa.
The Money Show gets comment from representatives of SAIEA and the National Clothing Retail Federation .SAIEA chairperson Dudley Filippa says the development is to be welcomed as an opportunity to engage with the revenue service to create an environment where they 'can find perhaps middle ground'. "There are two sides to every story, and over the past six months or so only the one side has been heard... This is actually an opportunity for particularly our lower income earners to buy a very necessary item - clothing. It's a matter of affordability."
He says courier services will be delivering small parcels in any event, but it's a different story for the local clothing industry if the increased charge is not levied on the Chinese companies.
