The Link between Tax Revenue Components and Economic Growth: Evidence from South Africa. An ARDL Approach

Abstract: This study examined the link between tax revenue components and economic growth in South Africa, utilizing time series data for the period of 22 years. The stationarity of the variables was established using the Phillips-Perron (PP) unit root test, and the existence of long-run and short-run equilibrium conditions was tested using the Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) model. As a proxy for economic growth, the study used the real GDP growth rate as the dependent variable, with company income tax, personal … Show more

“…Thus 1% increase in income, profit, and capital gains tax lead to a 2.5% decrease in GDP in below mean GDP countries and 1% increase in income, profit, and capital gains tax leads to 8.8% increase in GDP in above mean GDP countries. It goes with Pamba's (2022) conclusion that Taxes on income, profits, and capital gains (CGT) have all been estimated to have a negative short and long-run coefficient. According to the findings, a 1% increase in government CGT would constrain South Africa's GDP growth over the study period.…”
