2015 Breakfast Indaba
“Slicing the cake in the mining industry:  royalties, taxation and the next commodity boom”

On 24 March at a breakfast hosted by Bernard Swanepoel and the Joburg Indaba team at the Country Club Johannesburg, Auckland Park, Stephen Meintjes discussed the political hot potato of land reform and put forward a proposal to replace taxation with the collection of land and resource rentals.
Stephen outlined practical steps that can be taken to an altogether different taxation regime, particularly in the troubled mining sector, offering positive and workable solutions to the thorny issues of land, resource rent and taxation.

Attendees heard how he suggested this will work in practice as well as what other leading minds thought about these proposals
