Incandescent Light Bulb Levy of R3 Comes into Effect on 1 November 2009

The environmental levy on "electric filament lamps" comes into effect in South Africa this Sunday, the 1st November 2009. See a copy of the Government Gazette notice here. This applies to all "electric filament lamps" [as set out in the Gazette notice schedule] manufactured in and imported to South Africa. As far as we understand, this applies to incandescent lamps and most halogen lamps [there is apparently a range of energy saving halogen lamps on the market to which the levy does not apply].
