South Africa’s revenue service has named e-hailing a priority compliance sector, using trip and third-party data to find Uber, Bolt and similar drivers who may be unregistered or non-filing.

Coverage frames this as compliance, not a brand-new levy — self-employed drivers generally must register and file.
