Se trata de una vieja estrategia de cerco económico y comercial para acabar definitivamente con la obra de la Revolución cubana.</p><p>Los centros cubanos, miembros de CLACSO, denunciamos esta nueva acción imperialista con fines desestabilizadores del proyecto social cubano y reafirmamos nuestro derecho inalienable a la soberanía, independencia y dignidad humana. En una época convulsa para las alternativas anticapitalistas, la experiencia de la Revolución cubana sigue siendo un referente ético y político de transformación social emancipador.</p><p>Cuba es una espina en la garganta de la derecha fascista mundial, porque sigue viva como posibilidad histórica ante la crisis capitalista global. La Revolución cubana es un referente de poder popular construido, de rebeldía emancipadora y sujeto colectivo consciente, con capacidades de organización y movilización frente a los intentos de neocolonización neoliberal con nuevas máscaras modernizadoras. Como parte de la sociedad cubana, enfatizamos nuestro derecho humano a vivir en solidaridad con justicia social, ese es el principal fundamento que nos impulsa a seguir pensando y trabajando por el socialismo.</p><p>El gobierno estadounidense nunca ha ayudado al mejoramiento de las condiciones de vida del pueblo cubano. Esta acción de odio y prepotencia imperial es también, una apuesta por la colonización del pensamiento crítico. Desde el compromiso científico y la apuesta política intelectual por la emancipación de los pueblos latinoamericanos y caribeños, la comunidad CLACSO en Cuba reafirma su compromiso epistemológico militante contra las alianzas fascistas y fundamentalistas de la dominación imperialista global.</p><p>Centros Cubanos miembros de CLACSO</p><p>La Habana, 6 de julio de 2025</p><p>Si desea recibir más información sobre las propuestas de formación de CLACSO:</p><p><p>SUSCRÍBETE</p><p> <p> <p> <p> <img src="data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==" rel="noopener noreferrer"> </p><form> <p> <p> Suscripción a las novedades de CLACSO </p> <p>Por favor, ingrese sus datos para que podamos enviarle la información que más le interesa. </p> <p> <p> <label>Nombre </label> </p> <p> <label>Apellido </label> </p> <p> <label>Correo Electrónico* </label> </p> <p> <label>País* <select> <option>Seleccione...</option> <option>Alemania</option> <option>Argentina</option> <option>Australia</option> <option>Austria</option> <option>Bélgica</option> <option>Bolivia</option> <option>Brasil</option> <option>Camerún</option> <option>Canadá</option> <option>Chile</option> <option>China</option> <option>Colombia</option> <option>Corea del Sur</option> <option>Costa Rica</option> <option>Cuba</option> <option>Ecuador</option> <option>El Salvador</option> <option>España</option> <option>Estados Unidos</option> <option>Etiopía</option> <option>Finlandia</option> <option>Francia</option> <option>Gabón</option> <option>Guatemala</option> <option>Guinea-Bissau</option> <option>Haití</option> <option>Honduras</option> <option>Italia</option> <option>Líbano</option> <option>México</option> <option>Nicaragua</option> <option>Noruega</option> <option>Países Bajos</option> <option>Palestina</option> <option>Panamá</option> <option>Paraguay</option> <option>Perú</option> <option>Polonia</option> <option>Portugal</option> <option>Puerto Rico</option> <option>Reino Unido</option> <option>República Dominicana</option> <option>Rusia</option> <option>Saint Lucía</option> <option>Sudáfrica</option> <option>Suecia</option> <option>Suiza</option> <option>Tailandia</option> <option>Trinidad y Tobago</option> <option>Uruguay</option> <option>Venezuela</option> <option>Otros</option> </select></label> </p> <p> <label>Seleccione los temas de los cuales desearía recibir información:</label> <label><p> Formación</p></label> <label><p> Concursos y convocatorias</p></label> <label><p> Actividades</p></label> <label><p> Novedades Editoriales</p></label> <label><p> Noticias</p></label> <label><p> Todo</p></label> </p> <p> <p> En caso desee recibir noticias a través de WhatsApp/Telegram: </p><p> <label>Móvil </label> <p> <p>(Número completo, incluyendo número de país y de área, por ejemplo, de Argentina, Rosario, sería: +54 9 341 1234567) </p> </p> <p> <p> </p> <p> SUSCRÍBETE</p> </p> </p> </p> <script;</p></form> × </p> </p> </p><p>a nuestras listas de correo electrónico.</p><p> Versión para impresión / PDF </p> Ante la nueva agresión del gobierno de Estados Unidos contra Cuba - CLACSO	查看 6335	拉丁美洲社会科学理事会	2025-07-08 21:54:17 2025-07-09 01:03:51	word

Picture: AFP</p> </p><p> </p> <p> <p>President Cyril Ramaphosa has contested the United States’ justification for imposing a 30% trade tariff on South African goods, describing the percentage as inaccurate and based on a flawed interpretation of trade data. </p><p>The dispute emerged after President Donald Trump announced the unilateral tariff imposition in correspondence received by South Africa on Monday.</p><p>South Africa was among several countries to receive similar communications from the US administration, signalling a broader shift in American trade policy.</p><p>The tariff, set to take effect on 1 August 2025, represents a significant escalation in trade tensions between the two nations and threatens to disrupt established commercial relationships.</p>Ramaphosa challenges trade data interpretation<p>Ramaphosa’s administration has directly challenged the American interpretation of bilateral trade figures that formed the basis for the 30% tariff decision. </p><p> <p> <p> <p> Read more </p> Trump’s new 30% tariff less about trade and more about power </p> </p> </p><p>According to Ramaphosa, the contested interpretation is currently under review by negotiating teams from both countries.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>“South Africa maintains that the 30% reciprocal tariff is not an accurate representation of available trade data,” Ramaphosa stated in his response. </p><p>The president provided alternative figures, stating that South Africa’s average tariff on imported goods stands at 7.6%, significantly lower than the American characterisation.</p><p>The South African government emphasised that 56% of goods entering the country face zero tariffs under most-favoured-nation status, with 77% of US goods entering the South African market duty-free.</p><p>These statistics form the cornerstone of South Africa’s argument against the American trade deficit claims.</p><p> </p><p>ALSO READ: US tariff pause ends on 9 July: Tau says what happens now</p>Trump’s ultimatum and conditions<p>In his letter to Ramaphosa, Trump framed the tariff as a necessary correction to what he described as persistent trade deficits caused by South African policies. </p><p>The American president characterised the relationship as “far from reciprocal” and positioned the 30% tariff as a measured response to years of unsuccessful negotiations.</p><p>“Starting on 1 August 2025, we will charge South Africa a Tariff of only 30% on any and all South African products sent into the United States, separate from all Sectoral Tariffs,” Trump wrote. </p><p> </p><p>He emphasised that the percentage was “far less than what is needed to eliminate the trade deficit disparity we have with your country.”</p><p>Trump’s correspondence included both incentives and warnings, offering tariff exemptions for companies that relocate manufacturing to the US while threatening additional penalties for any retaliatory measures. </p><p>“If for any reason you decide to raise your tariffs, then, whatever the number you choose to raise them by, will be added onto the 30% that we charge,” the letter stated.</p><p>ALSO READ:Will Trump’s tariffs have major negative effect on South Africa’s economy?</p><p> </p>Diplomatic engagement and framework proposals<p>Despite the tariff announcement, both nations have indicated a willingness to continue negotiations.</p><p>Ramaphosa said South Africa has been actively pursuing diplomatic solutions, including recent engagements during the US-Africa Summit in Luanda on 23 June 2025.</p><p>During these discussions, South Africa learned of a template the US wishes to use for engaging sub-Saharan African countries on trade matters.</p><p>The South African negotiating team is still awaiting this template, but Ramaphosa has instructed his team to urgently engage with the US based on a Framework Deal submitted by South Africa on 20 May 2025. </p><p> </p><p>This framework specifically addresses American concerns about South Africa’s alleged trade surplus, unfair trade practices, and lack of reciprocity.</p><p>“South Africa will continue with its diplomatic efforts towards a more balanced and mutually beneficial trade relationship with the United States,” Ramaphosa affirmed.</p><p>However, he still “welcomed” the US commitment that the 30% tariff remains subject to modification following successful negotiations.</p><p>ALSO READ:Tariffs and Agoa: How Parks Tau summarised US-SA trade talks</p>Economic diversification strategy<p>In response to the trade pressure, Ramaphosa has called for accelerated economic diversification efforts to strengthen both global supply chains and South Africa’s economic resilience. </p><p>The president urged government trade negotiation teams and South African companies to intensify their diversification strategies as a protective measure against future trade disputes.</p>Implications for future Trump-Ramaphosa relations<p>The tariff dispute occurs against the backdrop of evolving US-Africa trade relations under the Trump administration. </p><p>The American president’s letter emphasised the “strength and commitment” of the trading relationship while simultaneously imposing punitive measures, creating a complex diplomatic dynamic.</p><p>Trump’s correspondence concluded with an offer of flexibility,

3202049	有图 <p> Related to rights issue more than a decade ago. </p> <p> <img src="https://media.citizen.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Woolworths-Vat-David-Jones.jpg" rel="noopener noreferrer"> <p>The Supreme Court of Appeal decision is important for investment holding companies. Picture: Rogan Ward/Reuters</p> </p><p> </p> <p> <p>Its 2014 acquisition of Australian department store David Jones has been labelled a “R20 billion blunder”, but Woolworths Holdings has now at least been vindicated over its value-added tax (VAT) treatment of the transaction.</p><p>The Supreme Court of Appeal (SCA) has held that a “comprehensive consideration” of an entity’s activities is required, rather than isolating a “single or a segregated” set of transactions.</p><p>It has dismissed – with costs – a South African Revenue Service (Sars) appeal against a Western Cape Tax Court ruling in favour of Woolworths Holdings’s VAT treatment at the time.</p><p>The acquisition was funded by cash, debt, and equity funding through a R10 billion underwritten rights offer.</p><p>Woolworths incurred VAT of R18.6 million in respect of professional services for the rights offer to local and foreign shareholders.</p><p> <p> <p> <p> Read more </p> Woolies denies claim of discriminating against poor whites </p> </p> </p><p>It deducted input VAT of approximately R8.5 million for services provided by local service providers, declared R15.5 million (foreign) for the services supplied by foreign (non-resident) service providers, and claimed R12.8 million of the cost.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>ALSO READ: Woolworths Food remains the group’s star</p><p>The deduction claim was based on a tax opinion that the supply of the shares to residents was an exempt supply and the supply to non-residents was a zero-rated taxable supply.</p><p>Sars disallowed the R8.5 million input VAT claimed and levied a further VAT output tax of R28373.90 on what it regarded as the correct value of the total imported services. This was in addition to the R15.5 million that had been declared by Woolworths.</p><p>The revenue service imposed an understatement penalty of R2 million.</p><p> </p><p>Woolworths objected to the additional assessments and approached the Tax Court to appeal Sars’s decision to uphold only a portion of the objection relating to the output tax. The Tax Court upheld Woolworths’s appeal.</p><p>That court found that Woolworths conducts the enterprise of an active investment holding company and was entitled to the deductions.</p><p>Sars took that decision on appeal to the SCA.</p><p>ALSO READ: Woolworths is fighting many battles</p><p> </p>Definition of ‘enterprise’<p>Sars contended before the SCA that the description of the services supplied by Woolworths to its subsidiaries as ‘capital management’ was an “obfuscation”.</p><p>The SCA found it difficult to understand this argument.</p><p>“No explanation is offered as to why activities relating to the investments and financial management of those investments must be ignored in the factual determination of the enterprise of Woolworths Holdings,” Judge Nambitha Dambuza noted.</p><p>Sars reasoned that prior to the acquisition of David Jones, Woolworths Holdings had not engaged in the activity of issuing shares in a “continuous, unchanged or uninterrupted manner” as an enterprise.</p><p> </p><p>It reasoned that the rights offer was an “isolated activity”.</p><p>ALSO READ: Woolworths faces the eye of the storm</p><p>Dambuza said the definition of enterprise requires that the activity of the enterprise be conducted continuously or regularly.</p><p>It also provides for activity conducted in connection with the commencement or termination of the continuous activity to be deemed to have been performed in the “course or furtherance of the enterprise”.</p><p> </p><p>She added that the inclusion of the proviso in the definition of enterprise demands a holistic consideration of the activities of the entity under consideration.</p><p>“The contention by Sars that a once-off transaction at the start of a business enterprise does not form part of the enterprise is incorrect.”</p>De Beers case ‘not the same’<p>In her decision, Dambuza noted that Sars placed much reliance on the De Beers case. The factual context in the Woolworths matter case was different.</p><p>In that case the SCA found that De Beers’s main trading activities were not the holding of shares and receipt of dividends, it was the mining and selling of diamonds from SA.</p><p>The submission on behalf of Sars in this case – that, based on the findings in the De Beers case, the holding of shares by Woolworths does not fall within the definition of enterprise – can only be based on a misreading of the De Beers judgment.</p><p>“This court in De Beers acknowledged that investments held by an investment company can conceivably be regarded, on their own, as an enterprise as envisaged in the VAT Act,” Dambuza said.</p>International case law<p>The SCA also considered international legislation and referred to the Kretztechnik AG v Finanzamt Linz case in the European Union – where the courts held that costs of raising capital by way of a rights offer formed part of Kretztechnik’s overheads and had a direct and immediate link with its entire economic activity.</p><p>“The undue focus by Sars on the specific mode of raising capital [the rights issue], and isolating that activity from the rest of Woolworths Holdings’ activities, makes little sense and would render this aspect of South African Tax Law incoherent both nationally and internationally.”</p><p>Joon Chong, partner at Webber Wentzel, says the SCA’s analysis of existing South African and international cases has significantly enriched the jurisprudence on this issue.</p><p>“The SCA held that a comprehensive holistic consideration of the vendor’s activities and a broad interpretation of any enterprise or activity in the definition of enterprise is required.”</p><p>Charles de Wet, tax executive at ENSafrica, says it is an important judgment from a VAT perspective.</p><p>“Since the De Beers judgment, there has been a narrow view of the VAT enterprise conducted by holding companies.It has now been confirmed that the activities go behind the holding of shares and earning of dividends that do not form part of any VAT enterprise.”</p><p>He adds that it should have a positive impact on the VAT apportionment rate that holding companies can apply.</p><p>This article was republished from Moneyweb.
