Road Accident Fund
The Road Accident Fund hereby, in accordance with section 17(4A)(a) of the Road Accident Fund Act, No. 56 of 1996, adjusts and makes known that the amounts referred to in subsection 17(4)(c) are hereby adjusted to R338 846, with effect from 31 January 2023, to counter the effects of CPI inflation.
Note: The CPI index based on the new “basket and weights” was used to calculate this adjustment, effective from 31 January 2023 (with base year December 2021 = 100). The CPI index for May 2008 was 50.43 due to the December 2021 rebasing. The CPI index for August 2022 was 106.8. This adjustment was calculated by multiplying the R 160 000 limit by 106.8/50.43.
