Fuel levy
A large portion of South Africa’s petrol price will now be made up of levies, with the General Fuel Levy and the Road Accident Fund levy making up the largest part of it.
With effect from 7 April 2021, the Fuel Levy in the price structure of petrol and diesel will amount to 393.0 c/l and 379.0 c/l respectively.
The Road Accident Fund Levy in the price structure of both petrol and diesel will amount to 207.0 c/l on the same day.
There will also be an increase in the transport tariff that ranges between 0 cents and 2.8 cents per litre- which averages to an additional 1.2 cents per litre added to the price.
