Table 3.3 above shows a summary of provincial own revenue from 2019/20 to 2025/26 by department. The increase

in revenue collections is evident against the major revenue generating departments namely the Departments of
Transport, Health, Economic Development, Environmental Affairs and Tourism, and Public Works and Infrastructure.

The Department of Transport collects own revenue mainly from motor vehicle license fees that is in accordance with
the vehicle population and the vehicle tare weight for which tariffs are charged per vehicle categories. Total own
revenue is projected to increase from the 2022/23 revised estimate of R762.413 million in 2022/23 to
R796.722 million in 2023/24. The department has rolled out an awareness campaign during September and October
2022 to encourage the motorists to renew their licenses and have been utilising the media including radio and

newspapers and the distribution of pamphlets as well as traffic roadblocks for this awareness to collect all license
renewals revenue that is due to the department. The department has also improved on the recovery of motor vehicle
license fees that are collected by collection agents namely municipalities or registering authorities and the South
African Post Office.

The Department of Economic Development, Environmental Affairs and Tourism collects own revenue mainly from
casino and horse racing taxes through the Eastern Cape Gambling Board (ECGB), as well as from liquor license
fees through the Eastern Cape Liquor Board (ECLB) as the collection agents. Own revenue is estimated to improve
from the 2022/23 revised estimate of R215.293 million to R252.271 million in 2023/24 due to the improvement in
collections from casino operators, route and site operators, bingo halls and bookmakers.
