Levy on New Passenger Motor Vehicles

An environmental levy was introduced in 2011 on new passenger motor vehicles. 

The levy knows different rates with regards to the vehicle type and related-CO2 emissions thresholds: 

• The CO2 emissions threshold for passenger cars remains at 120 gCO2/km and an initial tax rate at R75 for every gCO2/km above this threshold. 
• It has also been decided to set the threshold for double cabs at 175gCO2/km and the initial tax rate at R100 for every gCO2/km above the threshold. 

Rates have evolved and sustainably increased over the years, up to R132 for passenger cars and R176 for double cabs. Stated rates are applicable from April 2022.
