The South African Revenue Service (Sars) on 17 September 2017 invited comment on the draft amendment of the Rules to Section 8 to the Customs and Excise Act, 1964 relating to the reporting of conveyances and goods (RCG) for trains, which is due by 8 October 2018.
According to Sars the content of the proposed Rules, within the context of the Act, 1964 is closely related to Chapter 3 of the Customs Control Act, 2014. The proposed Rules are intended to bring the RCG requirements under the Act, 1964 closer to what will be required in terms of the Act, 2014, when the Act, 2014 comes into effect.
