Truck Culture and the Road Freight Crunch Are Changes Coming?

Hi everyone,

I was chatting with a driver at a rest stop today while he was loading a shipment of luxury bags for my boutique. He was explaining how the petrol VAT percentage South Africa impacts the entire logistics industry and why shipping rates are so high right now.

It was a fascinating, professional conversation about the challenges of staying established in the transport sector, especially when fuel costs dictate so much of our overhead.

Does anyone here work in trucking or logistics and know if there are any planned changes to this tax structure?

I’m trying to keep my worldwide express shipping costs predictable and high-quality for all my global clients, but these fluctuations make long-term planning difficult.

Thanks in advance.
