On 22 May the South African Revenue Service (Sars) announced an extension of the due date for comment on the Rules under Section 8 of the Customs and Excise Act No.91 of 1964 relating to the reporting of conveyances and goods (RCG) for trains, until 14 June.
The content of the proposed rules under Section 8 is, within the context of the 1964 Act, closely related to Chapter 3 of the Customs Control Act No.31 of 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 Customs Control Act, 2014 when that Act comes into effect.
