South African Revenue Service (SARS) commissioner Edward Kieswetter says that the risk of a tax revolt in South Africa is always present, but he believes that the majority of South Africans know that it is not the right thing to do.

“Any contribution to further a lack of law and order makes you part of the problem,” he said, adding that when you don’t pay taxes, it’s not the government that suffers, but rather the most vulnerable in society that ultimately benefits from the government’s social programmes.

True, but there are other ways although maybe not that effective but yeah in the end not much we can do unless businesses start working together.

I get long and hard at the thought of a tax revolt.

OH. Oh. As you were.

I doubt whether large enterprises will take the risk of withholding PAYE.

Start at municipality level. The ANC will quickly get the message!

Pretty much, but yeah getting everyone to join in is basically impossible and it won't work unless everyone does it.

As it stands right now, the government is not suffering, the most vulnerable are though.

Can I also live in your fantasy land Kieswetter?

it’s not the government that suffers, but rather the most vulnerable in society that ultimately benefits from the government’s social programmes.

The most vulnerable in society only gets what's left after the government have had their fill, and they all eat like pigs.

If we could find a way to bypass govt and get the money to where it's needed, those in government would starve.
