A local industry perspective on how the proposed tax on vaping e-liquid is likely to affect women-led businesses within the local vaping industry.

The impact of the government’s proposed vaping tax on women-led business operations and growth

PRETORIA, SOUTH AFRICA, 31 August 2022: Recent evidence has shown that female-driven entrepreneurs across several sectors are more resilient and determined to transform their economic circumstances. Data from Mastercard’s Index of Women Entrepreneurs (MIWE) notes that while South Africa is one of only 12 economies where women’s entrepreneurial activity rates increased in 2021, with 11.1% of working-age women engaged in early-stage entrepreneurial activity, their growth remains hampered by less supportive entrepreneurial support. Insufficient government support for Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) has been identified as one of the main constraints to the growth of women-led businesses.
