Toll tariffs
The Department also highlighted updated tariffs for all toll roads in South Africa which came into effect on April 12.
According to the Department: "The toll tariffs of all toll roads have also been adjusted for 2018. The adjustments were published in Government Gazette 41545 of March 28 2018."
According to Sanral: "Adjustments to the tariffs are influenced by the CPI over the preceding twelve months and the increase in VAT from 14% to 15% recently announced in the 2018/19 Budget.
"The adjustments are made on an annual basis to keep the toll tariffs aligned with inflation. The one percentage point VAT increase is added to the base toll tariff and contributed to the upward adjustment that became operational on April 1."
