Sars on 30 September called for comment on the draft rule amendment notices to amend item 200.08 of the Schedules to the Rules to the Act 1964 “Places where container depots may be established” on which comment is due by 15 October.

This amendment is intended to list Lebombo in Item 200.08 in terms of section 6(1)(hB) of the Act as approved places where licensed container depots may be established.
Amendment of Schedule to the Rule to the Act, 1964 is amended to “Places where container depots may be established (Section 6(1) (hB) of the Act) Cape Town, Durban, East London, Germiston, Johannesburg, Lebombo, Port Elizabeth, Pretoria, Richards Bay, and Saldanha Bay.”
