“Two of these measures applied to corporations, namely delaying the base-broadening measures I had announced in the previous Budget and deferrals for provisional tax payments. These measures have now run their course.”

He said tax incentives provided certain taxpayers/industries with preferential treatment compared to what was generally available to all, creating opportunities for vested interests and lobby groups.
