The RAF tax and fuel levy added to the basic fuel price in South Africa total R6.14 per litre — around 28% of the current petrol price.
South Africans could be paying up to R491 less per tank of fuel if government scrapped the excessive levies and taxes added to the basic fuel price in the country.
Our calculations involved removing the RAF tax and general fuel levy from June’s petrol prices. We didn’t remove the other costs or wholesale and retail margins., the RAF tax currently sits at R2.18 per litre, while R3.96 is added to the basic fuel price as a fuel levy. We selected three standard fuel tank sizes — 45-litre, 60-litre, and 80-litre — to determine the savings that could be realised if these taxes and levies were scrapped.
