2026-10-30 09:27:59 +02:00 | Klaus | No I do not | All of the above | 2. Unfair Double Taxation: Paying both at the pump and at renewal | Adding extra taxes and fees to an already escalating fuel price is absurd. |

Unfair Double Taxation: Paying both at the pump and at renewal | The increase in fuel increases everything, as we knew it, which is blatantly unfair to humanity. We can't just pay this "Huge" extra, when the ANC is broke to make them better and as humans in SA, we cannot pay extra anywhere you may ask us, for your survival. We would that you did not. It's you and your extra fuel costs, thats putting us both, down into death. Don't put up the price of petrol. |

2026-10-29 12:58:33 +02:00 | Dessary | No I do not | All of the above | 2. Unfair Double Taxation: Paying both at the pump and at renewal | ? NO, I OBJECT to the R3.00/litre RAF hike and the licence disc tax, and DEMAND the reinstatement of fuel levy relief (Rejects double-taxing motorists at both the pump and the annual renewal counter; demands that National Treasury immediately reinstate the emergency General Fuel Levy relief measures that expired on 30 June 2026 to neutralise projected record price shocks; opposes bailing out RAF administrative waste and multi-billion-rand legal fee leakages; and calls for retail petrol price deregulation into a maximum price cap.) |

- Securing Third-Party Accident Support: The Road Accident Fund provides an essential constitutional and social safety net for vulnerable road users, pedestrians, and low-income accident victims who cannot afford private medical insurance. Without financial solvency, the Fund faces collapse.
- Adapting to New Technology: As the automotive fleet gradually transitions toward hybrid and electric vehicles, traditional fuel levy collections will decline. Introducing alternative funding streams ensures all road users contribute equitably to the compensation system.
- Revenue Predictability: Relying solely on volumetric fuel sales exposes statutory bodies to volatile global oil markets and fuel demand destruction. A fixed annual licence disc charge provides steady, predictable income to settle medical claims.

- The Reality of Double Taxation: Charging motorists over R6.00/litre in fuel taxes while simultaneously adding a secondary surcharge onto annual licence discs punishes vehicle owners twice for the same basic public service.
- Refusing to Deploy Proven Relief: Earlier in 2026, government proved it could slash the General Fuel Levy (even cutting diesel tax to zero) to shield consumers. Refusing to reinstate that relief during a projected R4.58/l surge while plotting new taxes is indefensible.
- A Blank Check for Legal Inefficiency: The RAF’s deficit is not caused by inadequate taxpayer support, but by systemic mismanagement, billions lost to attorney contingency fees, and procedural backlogs. Granting extra levies without fixing internal governance disincentivizes genuine reform.
- Economic Shocks and Food Inflation: Fuel is the primary operational input for agriculture and freight transport. When combined with impending international fuel price shocks, state-induced tax hikes directly accelerate grocery inflation, taxi fares, and small business closures.
