Abstract

The study investigates the impact of inflation expectations and public debt on taxation in South Africa, employing the autoregressive distributive lag model and Granger Causality techniques. The results indicate a long-run positive significant relationship between inflation expectations and taxation and a negative significant relationship between public debt and taxation. This reveals that when consumers and businesses expect the inflation rate to rise, taxable income will also increase. The public debt-taxation nexus can imply that the South African government finances its debts through borrowing than through taxation. Therefore, economic participants must have full knowledge of what can influence taxation.
