Big tax problem in South Africa that’s costing drivers of certain cars

• South Africa's tax system has not been updated to account for electric vehicles (EVs), creating issues for companies and individuals who rely on travel allowances.
• The lack of clarity around EVs in the tax system is due to outdated legislation that assumes cars run on liquid fuel, rather than electricity.
• Taxpayers may need to rely on actual costs rather than prescribed rates, and charger operators may need to implement recording systems to provide reliable records of electricity usage.
