Black market for cigarettes still thriving - led by Zim s Gold Leaf

During South Africa’s strictest national lockdown, a ban on alcohol and tobacco fanned the fires of a large and lucrative black market for cigarettes. The South African National Treasury data show the government lost R9.5bn in alcohol and tobacco taxes in the first four months of the 2020 fiscal year. A report funded by the country’s Tobacco Institute showed that two years before the ban, the country already had one of the world’s largest illicit markets for tobacco products. In December last year, a SARS official and two accomplices were charged with corruption and defeating the course of justice over a seized truck and contraband, which was allegedly cleared to pass over the Beitbridge border crossing from Zimbabwe. The contents of that truck were estimated to be worth R10m. On Sunday, more Remington Gold cigarettes were seized, this time the load was worth R13m.

Illegal cigarette kingpins made R12bn since lockdown ban on tobacco

Illegal cigarette kingpins made R12bn since lockdown ban on tobacco By Thobeka Ngema Share Durban - Tax Justice SA (TJSA) and British American Tobacco South Africa (Batsa) are open to a commission of inquiry into the illegal cigarette trade in the country that has ballooned to billions of rands, the organisations have said. On Tuesday,, TJSA founder Yusuf Abramjee said the illicit trade exploded since the 20-week ban in 2020 and that cost the country R38 million in lost excise taxes every day, and enriched kingpins in the black market to the tune of R12 billion. Criminals selling tax-evading cigarettes now openly dominate the market across the country, costing the fiscus an estimated R8 billion a year in lost excise alone.
