Rate changes and the fuel sector

With effect from 2023 and following a lengthy public consultation process, the Carbon Tax Act was amended to state the exact annual carbon tax rate increases from 2023 to 2030. One of the reasons for this was to promote certainty from an investment perspective and to enable South Africa to meet its Paris Agreement commitments by gradually increasing the carbon tax rate. It therefore comes as no surprise that in the Budget it was confirmed that the carbon tax increased from R159 to R190 per tonne CO2 equivalent from 1 January 2024. Concomitantly, it was announced that the carbon fuel levy will increase to 11c/litre for petrol and 14c/litre for diesel effective from 3 April 2024.

Beyond status: Parameters of section 198D of the LRA, and competent relief for current and former employees

Section 198D of the Labour Relations Act 66 of 1995 (LRA) contains general provisions applicable to sections 198A to 198C, and vests the Commission for Conciliation, Mediation and Arbitration (CCMA) or bargaining council with the power to conciliate and arbitrate any dispute related to the interpretation or application of these subsections. This includes disputes related to the status of the employment relationship between a temporary employee and the client of a temporary employment service (TES). Once the CCMA determines that the employee is deemed an employee of the client in terms of section 198A(3)(b), is the scope of section 198D wide enough to empower the CCMA to grant substantive relief? What about those who are no longer “ employed ” at the time of lodging a dispute?

Deferred purchase price and interest in share sale agreements: The National Credit Act

The National Credit Act 34 of 2005 (NCA) is not a piece of legislation that springs to mind when negotiating share sale transactions. This is mainly since share sale transactions typically do not constitute credit agreements and, if they do (due to payment deferral provisions), the NCA still wouldn’t apply where the purchaser (being the “ credit consumer ”) is a juristic person whose annual turnover or asset value equals or exceeds R1 million or where the purchase price is R250,000 or more, and the purchaser’s annual turnover or asset value is below R1million.
