Tshwane, 15 October 2024 — Following the media statement by the South African Revenue Service (SARS) yesterday, 14 October 2024, about an engagement with industry to avert fuel shortages at all airports, SARS wishes to announce the following:
After careful consideration, SARS Commissioner has granted special permission for the importation of kerosene fuel from 21 October 2024 until 20 October 2025. The special permission is granted to allow parties to attend to the complexities involved in the process of the deregistration of manufacturing warehouses and reregistration of affected storage facilities.
The Commissioner requests all parties to conclude the outstanding work urgently and ensure that all compliance requirements are met and that the current licensing provision, in respect of the importation of kerosene fuel and its derivatives, may be confirmed where appropriate.
Every taxpayer that is involved will be communicated with individually, in line with their applicable circumstances. SARS believes that this announcement will bring certainty to the industry, which will benefit the country’s economy and enable everyone to travel smoothly.
