The South African Poultry Association will continue to campaign for chicken to be exempt from value-added tax (VAT) because it believes it is in the interests of the country and lower-income households, it said in a statement on Tuesday.   SAPA is disappointed that the Woolard panel did not recommend the zero-rating of chicken. A final decision on any additional products to be zero-rated will probably be taken later this year, and SAPA intends to contribute vigorously to the public debate.   “Our argument will be based on the detailed submission made to the panel, supported by an economic and regulatory analysis prepared by our advisers, PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC),” it said in a statement on Tuesday.
