international crude oil procurement activities for the 2005 to 2014 tax years. The
litigation in the Tax Court, relating to the international crude oil procurement activities for
the 2005 to 2007 years of assessment, was concluded and judgement was delivered in
favour of SARS on 30 June 2017. Sasol Oil made a provision in its 2018 annual
financial statements of R1.3 billion, including penalties and interest, which covers the
2005 to 2014 tax years relating to the tax assessment ground to which this litigation is
related.

Sasol Oil filed an appeal against the judgment by the Tax Court with the Supreme Court
of Appeal. Today the Supreme Court of Appeal decided to uphold the appeal and to set
aside the ruling by the Tax Court. The Court effectively confirmed Sasol Oil’s view that
the ground for additional taxation of Sasol Oil’s international crude oil procurement
activities has not been fulfilled.
