27 June 2025 – In alignment with SARS’s strategic objective to modernise systems to provide digital and streamlined online services, the refund claims for the Diesel Refund for Foodstuff Manufacturers Scheme (DRFMS) will be automated under the Customs and Excise Refunds and Drawbacks (CERD) system. This will replace the current process, which is manual, requiring physical submission of the DA66 form at SARS Excise branch offices. See the letter shared with industry.
For more information, see the Diesel Refunds for Foodstuff Manufacturers Scheme webpage.
