Appropriation Bill 2026/27: Call for Submissions
Brought to you by SA Legal Academy: The National Council of Provinces’ (NCOP) Select Committee on Appropriations has called for written public submissions on the Appropriation Bill for the 2026/27 financial year.
In terms of the legislative process governing national budget allocations, the annual Appropriation Bill must be passed to appropriate money from the National Revenue Fund for the requirements of the state. The NCOP Select Committee on Appropriations is currently considering the Bill, which has yet to be formally passed by the National Assembly. Briefings from various government departments and state entities remain underway as part of the parliamentary review process.
Interested stakeholders, including public finance practitioners, compliance officers, and affected entities, are invited to submit written representations on the proposed allocations. The deadline for submitting written comments to the Committee is 8 June 2026.
What this means for you, your business, or your clients
- For yourself: No direct individual compliance obligations; however, public finance professionals should monitor the progress of the Bill to track departmental allocations.
- For your business: Firms providing services to government departments or relying on state-funded projects must align their operational budgets and procurement pipelines with the final departmental allocations once enacted.
- For your clients: Clients operating in public-private partnerships or executing state tenders should review the proposed departmental budget allocations by the 8 June 2026 deadline to assess potential funding risks or project delays.
