Speaking to City Press on the sidelines of the event, BITC’s executive director for international business, Moshie Ratsebe, said Botswana had offered investors very competitive corporate taxes, which stood at 22%.The corporate income tax rate could be as low as 5% in priority sectors, such as manufacturing, and in areas such as the town of Selibe Phikwe, a mining town in the central district of Botswana.South Africa’s VAT is charged at 15% and the maximum personal income tax rate is 45%.
