DStv costs went up on 1 April – they usually’re going up once more on 1 Might.
That was confirmed in a message to all subscribers on Thursday.
The second improve comes on account of the VAT fee rising by 0.5 of a share level from 15% to fifteen.5% from 1 Might.
MultiChoice had delayed their preliminary annual DStv value hike announcement to mid-March following the delayed Price range Speech and any influence a VAT hike would have on costs.
DStv made it clear on the time that costs could be efficient from 1 April, however {that a} VAT hike (efficient from 1 Might) might effectively result in an additional value adjustment.
“As introduced within the current nationwide funds, South Africa’s VAT fee will improve by 0.5% to fifteen.5% from 1 Might 2025. In consequence, pricing could also be adjusted to replicate the brand new VAT fee efficient 1 Might. We are going to talk how the VAT improve impacts your package deal pricing in April 2025,” DStv mentioned in a message to clients final month.
The rise is nominal, resulting in subscribers questioning why DStv couldn’t simply have absorbed the rise.
