Migration of Customs and Excise traders to the new Registration, Licensing, and Accreditation (RLA) system
Presenters : Christo Theron
Overview
The introduction of SARS Customs' Registration, Licensing and Accreditation (RLA) platform creates significant uncertainty among importers and exporters, many of whom become aware of the migration requirement only when their import or export registration numbers become inactive. While the migration process itself is relatively straightforward, the RLA platform represents a fundamental shift in how Customs and Excise registrations are managed and monitored.
This video provides both practical guidance on migrating to the RLA platform and a deeper understanding of its broader significance. It explores the various registration processes available under the Customs and Excise framework, the information generated by the platform, and the practical implications for taxpayers. As the RLA platform becomes a key source of AI-driven data analysis by SARS, incorrect setup or utilisation results in avoidable compliance challenges.
This session is essential for importers, exporters, customs practitioners and advisers involved in customs and excise compliance.
