The South African Freight and Logistics Association Safla has identified restoring structured engagement with the South African Revenue Service Sars as one of its immediate priorities.
It comes after the new organisation for the local freight forwarding industry held its inaugural meeting on Wednesday.
The absence of regular meetings with the tax authority was cited as one of the principal reasons why Saflas founding members decided to break away from the South African Association of Freight Forwarders Saaff.
