Treasury ends fuel levy relief

# National Treasury has ended its temporary fuel levy relief, removing a measure that had helped cushion motorists against high fuel prices. The decision means consumers are likely to face increased fuel costs as the tax adjustment takes effect. Treasury says the relief was always intended as a short-term intervention. The move is expected to impact transport costs and inflation pressures, with stakeholders warning of knock-on effects across the economy, particularly for households and businesses dependent on fuel-intensive logistics and commuting.
