Bikini model says SARS ruined her life

[Craig_]

In 2018 court papers, Van der Merwe blamed Sars for ending her relationship with Hariri, which she said she could’ve still derived financial benefit from.

And here I thought prostitution was illegal, has this woman got no shame.

That is a little bit harsh, what is wrong with giving R150m to you lover?

Nothing, except the article did mention this...

The tax authorities considered her claim that the money was a gift implausible and suspected the funds had been for her father, Gary van der Merwe, a businessman who had fought repeated court battles with the tax authorities over his own business dealings. The authorities levied income tax on the sum, froze Ms. van der Merwe’s assets and appointed a curator to oversee them until the matter was settled.

The final quote relating to the lawsuit is a classic...

“The plaintiff’s relationship with Mr. Hariri was terminated, which resulted in the loss of financial benefits that would have accrued to her from the relationship if it had been allowed to persist without outside interference,” the suit says.

She sounds heartbroken....

Sounds like her father was quite a 'hustler' too. This story goes back a long way: https://mg.co.za/article/2013-11-22-sa-models-r150m-gift-riles-taxman

She immediately appointed her father to represent her in dealing with this windfall, she says, because he was an experienced businessperson.

The cash came none too soon to stave off the provisional liquidation of Zonnekus Mansions, the company that owns the R40-million Milnerton estate where Gary van der Merwe lives.

He has consistently claimed he has no assets and no income, and that the money given to his daughter could not possibly have come from him.

He is best known for his involvement in the helicopter industry – he ran the Huey Extreme Club, which offered joyrides over the Cape Peninsula in a Vietnam-era Bell Huey chopper.

In 2004, he was arrested as part of a joint operation between Sars and the erstwhile Scorpions unit.

Gary van der Merwe faced charges relating to the allegedly fraudulent sale of shares in two companies: World On-Line Limited, registered in Mauritius, and a South African company, Wellness International Network.

He also faced charges relating to alleged under-declaration of income and fraudulent VAT claims.

You can't even send a friend money without SARS coming in and taking their cut. F*****g pathetic, thieving kants.

I think the champ was responding to the claim of prostitution (by Verde), and not really the whole deal with SARS.

Earlier thread on MyBB. Title is hilarious: https://mybroadband.co.za/forum/threads/bikini-model-says-sars-ruined-her-life.599271/

Edit: It makes sense, but I didn't expect the mods to merge the threads. Both titles were quite interesting...

Nothing wrong with it in my opinion, but the quid pro qou is obvious.
It is income and should be taxed as SARS rightly demanded.

Prostitution is a legal profession these days, if you do the work you pay the tax.

 

[Drifter]

Pics? Has to be a good pomp for R150Mill.

 

[mercurial]

I'll make her problems go away at a cost of course.

Intercourse?

I'd bet you'd do that for free as well, so you don't count.

 

[ToxicBunny]

Well at least she has told everyone in official court papers that she is a Gold Digging Ho....

R150 million for services rendered. Obviously taxable.
