With South Africa’s carbon tax deadline of 30 July 2026 approaching, many businesses are reassessing their potential exposure to future carbon tax liabilities. This often starts with reviewing emissions data, reporting processes, and calculation assumptions used in previous submissions, but it quickly becomes a broader strategic question: how to manage cost, compliance risk, and the options available to reduce carbon tax payable.

Carbon Tax Services

The South African Carbon Tax Act provides several mechanisms to manage carbon tax exposure, including the use of approved carbon offsets. When applied correctly, offsets can reduce carbon tax liabilities in a cost-effective way, while supporting verified emissions reduction or removal projects across the country. Used strategically, offsets can also form part of a broader approach that links compliance with longer-term decarbonisation and sustainability objectives.
