The green tax to be placed on passenger cars from September 1 is expected to earn the national fiscus R450-million in the 2010/11 financial year, says National Treasury spokesperson Jabulani Sikhakhane.

He says the main aim of the tax is to influence the composition of South Africas vehicle fleet so that it becomes more energy efficient and environmentally friendly.

In 2007, South Africa was the eighteenth- largest national emitter of carbon dioxide (CO2) from fuel combustion.
