A decision to adopt and retrospectively apply a new policy on rest and service facilities on national roads by the South African National Roads Agency Sanral has been declared unlawful and of no force and effect by the Supreme Court of Appeal SCA.
Also reviewed and set aside was Sanrals decision to increase the levy percentages paid to it by the developers of these facilities on their gross turnover value excluding value-added tax Vat from:
0.5 to 2.5 onpetroleum products and
1 to 6 onall other sales on the property.
The SCA referred the matter to Sanral for reconsideration and compliance with the Sanral Act.
