Rate changes and the fuel sector

With effect from 2023 and following a lengthy public consultation process, the Carbon Tax Act was amended to state the exact annual carbon tax rate increases from 2023 to 2030. One of the reasons for this was to promote certainty from an investment perspective and to enable South Africa to meet its Paris Agreement commitments by gradually increasing the carbon tax rate. It therefore comes as no surprise that in the Budget it was confirmed that the carbon tax increased from R159 to R190 per tonne CO2 equivalent from 1 January 2024. Concomitantly, it was announced that the carbon fuel levy will increase to 11c/litre for petrol and 14c/litre for diesel effective from 3 April 2024.
