The Organisation Undoing Tax Abuse (OUTA) on Wednesday welcomed South African Roads Agency Limited’s (Sanral’s) newly appointed CEO Skhumbuzo Macozoma’s statement that the agency will be “looking to achieve a balanced funding portfolio with fuel tax based revenue, as well as toll income.” “Outa has consistently stated that the seamless fuel levy, which attracts no administration costs, is an existing user pays policy and mechanism best suited to fund urban freeway upgrades. The sad reality is that the Gauteng freeway upgrade would have been paid off by now, if 9c of the national fuel levy had been allocated to this from the onset of the project,” said Outa transport portfolio director Ben Theron.
