SALGA made the following comment in this regard: . The fuel levy allocation was guaranteed with inflation adjustment for the next three years. From 2012/13 the allocation would be solely based on fuel sales per municipality. In the case of a decline in fuel sales, municipalities will receive less as there are no guarantees. . The reliance on fuel levy by metros could have unintended consequences (municipalities could promote use of private motor vehicles to boost fuel sales as opposed to promoting public transport and mechanisms to reduce road traffic). . SALGA noted that it was investigating a Local Business Tax as an alternative/appropriate replacement for the RSC levy. . It also requested that the challenge of unfunded mandates be looked into adding that functions that were not local government functions (in terms of the Constitution) were assigned to local government by way of sectoral legislation, without related adjustments to the fiscal framework - e.g. Disaster Management (Disaster Management Act) - Schedule 4 (A) of the Constitution.
