- 3.12.8 Value-added tax on the importation of goods
3.12.7 Duties and levies
As a general rule customs duties listed in Part 1 of Schedule 1 to the Customs and Excise Act are protective towards local industries and not levied to generate revenue for the fiscus. Excise duty, fuel and environmental levies are forms of indirect taxation used by government to influence consumer behaviour and also to generate revenue for the fiscus. SARS also collects the Road Accident Fund (RAF) levy. (a) Customs duty Customs duty, if expressed as a percentage (ad valorem), is always calculated as a percentage of the value of the goods. However, with certain products the duty is expressed as a specific rate, for example, cents per kilogram, cents per litre etc. based on the volume of the goods. (b) Excise duty Specific excise duty, ad valorem excise duty, fuel and RAF levies, environmental levies, and health promotion levy are levied on certain locally-manufactured goods and on imported goods of the same class or kind. The duties on imports are levied at the same rate as for locally manufactured goods and are payable in addition to the ordinary customs duty of Part 1 of Schedule 1 to the Customs and Excise Act. (c) Anti-dumping, countervailing and safeguard duties on imported goods Anti-dumping, countervailing and safeguard duties are trade remedies used to protect local industries against goods imported at dumped prices, subsidised imports or disruptive competition (in a form of sudden surge in imports). 3.12.8 Value-added tax on the importation of goods VAT is levied at the standard rate on the importation of goods from export countries, including Botswana, Lesotho, Namibia and Eswatini. For VAT purposes the value to be placed on the importation of goods into South Africa is deemed to be the value of the goods for customs duty purposes, plus any duty levied under the Customs and Excise Act on the importation of those goods, plus a further 10% of the said customs value for goods not originating from Botswana, Lesotho, Namibia and Eswatini. The value of any goods which have their origin in Botswana, Lesotho, Namibia and Eswatini which are imported into South Africa from any of those countries is not increased by the factor of 10% as is the case for imports from other countries.
