On 13 December 2024, the South African Revenue Service (SARS) advised that the “Customs and Excise Key Industry Management Forum” composition, mandate and meetings procedures were included as part of the Stakeholder Engagement Terms of Reference (TOR). This Key Industry Management Forum is being established as a standalone forum with its own TOR. The TOR has been developed and published to:
- Promote collaboration between SARS and industry on regulatory, operational and strategic issues;
- Provide the composition of the forum;
- Clarify the mandate and objectives of the forum; and
- Provide the key focus areas specific to the Key Industry Management Forum (KIMF).
