Included in the price of most new petrol and diesel vehicles on the market is a carbon (CO2) tax that the buyer must pay for the use of that car.
For the majority of autos under 3,500kg, this tax equates to R176 per g/km for CO2 emissions exceeding 175g/km. In other words, the emissions levy is only payable if a vehicle emits more than 175g of CO2 per kilometre driven.
Most hybrids and plug-in hybrids, as well as all-electric vehicles, do not exceed this emissions threshold and a carbon tax is therefore not tacked onto their prices.
However, for the majority of vehicles driven by petrol and diesel, an emissions tax is a common sight on the pricing sheet.
Range Rover emissions tax
Land Rover, and by extension Range Rover, is one such automaker whose high-end vehicles with big powerplants demand the addition of emission taxes in South Africa.
The amount taxed is not a flat rate, though, but rather dependent on the size of the motor fitted to the particular SUV.
Across the various model ranges the drivetrains include at least four plug-in hybrids, four diesels, and five petrols – each with its own level of emissions that necessitates its own carbon tax.
