Proposed multi-year SAMSA levies increase

24 Jun 2020 / South Africa

The South African Maritime Safety Authority (SAMSA) has received Government approval to implement a 3-year levies increase on its levies.

The proposed increases are as follows:
1.1. 2020-21: 8%
1.2. 2021-22: 6%
1.3. 2022-23: 0%

SAMSA has requested a consultation meeting with the South African Association of Ship Operators and Agents (SAASOA) to present its proposed implementation plan.

Budget forecast on which the levies increase is largely based anticipates implementation for the new levies to be 1 August 2020, to allow reasonable time for consultation.
