What is the Diesel Refund System under SARS legislation in South Africa?

Diesel refunds can be complicated; but understanding them doesn't have to be.

The Diesel Refund System under SARS legislation in South Africa allows qualifying businesses, in the Primary Production Sector of the economy, to recover a portion of the General Sales and Road Accident Fund levies paid on eligible diesel used in activities that conform the Diesel Refund Legislation.

At Abco, we help organisations navigate this diesel refund process, from compliance and claims to audits and ongoing support.

Every vehicle, machine, and piece of equipment in industry has the potential to generate valuable data daily. But data alone doesn't improve productivity; the real value lies in how the data it's interpreted.

Across the mining, agricultural, and forestry industries, businesses are shifting their focus from simply collecting information to turning it into actionable insights. Real-time visibility into fleet performance, equipment utilisation, maintenance needs, and operational trends empowers teams to make faster, smarter decisions that improve efficiency and reduce costs.

Abco offers an innovative solution in the ATrack. More than just a GPS based asset tracking device, it is a comprehensive production planning tool that provides the real-time insights businesses need to optimise operations and maximise productivity.

At Abco, we believe technology should do more than monitor your operations; it should help you make informed decisions that drive measurable results.

We are so grateful to have attended the Nampo Harvest Day earlier this month.

Nampo is one of South Africa’s largest agricultural exhibitions, bringing together industry leaders, innovators, farmers, and businesses from across the country to connect, collaborate, and showcase the latest in agriculture and technology.

We truly enjoyed being part of such an inspiring event and are grateful for all the meaningful connections, conversations, and opportunities that arose from our time there. It was amazing to engage with so many passionate people within the agricultural community.

The need for comprehensive diesel management and SARS refund compliance in the agricultural sector is overwhelming, especially as diesel prices continue to rise. We discussed solutions with industry leaders and are excited to offer our services to farmers easing the burden of diesel resource management.

Darren, what’s your role at Abco and what do you enjoy most about it?

Business Development Manager – No two days are the same, I am a problem solver and in today’s world every day seems to have a new problem, so I’m stoked.

-

We are a true community. Our CEO genuinely cares about our wellbeing. A strong business depends on a healthy, committed staff compliment and that, we are.

What motivates you?

Doing things to the best of your ability.

Colossians 3:23-24

Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving.

-

A fun fact about you?

I love the smell of petrol, and any machine that revs over 10 000 rpm! I currently race a Yamaha R6, 600cc Super Sport Bike but will literally race anything with wheels!

If you could switch roles with anyone in the company for a day, who would it be and why?

No-one. I love connecting with people and that’s what I get to do most days, so as long as I am needed in Business Development I will stick around!

Last week Abco Africa had the honour to be part of the 2026 African Mining Indaba in Cape Town!

From April 2026, SARS will decouple Diesel Refunds from the VAT201 return and move them to a standalone platform under the Customs and Excise Act.

For businesses in the Primary Production Sectors, this is more than an administrative update, it fundamentally changes how diesel refunds are calculated, claimed and justified.

At Abco Africa / Abcotronics, we have been tracking this long-anticipated shift since it was first mentioned in 2022. With our proactive approach and deep expertise in the Diesel Refund Scheme, we will help your organisation adapt early, stay compliant and maximise legitimate diesel refund claims under the new system.

DM us ASAP to ensure you stay on track!
