The South African Revenue Service says it will engage with the fuel industry to avert the shortage of jet fuel, known as kerosene.
While SARS has noted media statements alluding to the pending shortage of kerosene, it has denied assertions that the shortage is due to what is purportedly SARS’ ‘dithering to issue licences to fuel companies’. “SARS wishes to clarify that the demand for both aviation kerosene and illuminating kerosene in the Republic is met by the supply from licensed fuel manufacturers and importation,” SARS said yesterday.
“During April 2024, some of the refineries applied for and were granted temporary special storage warehouse licenses for the storage and subsequent distribution of imported aviation kerosene to OR Tambo International Airport and other airports. This was done to avert an impending crisis of the shortage of aviation kerosene that was occasioned by statutory maintenance of certain refineries,” SARS said.
