Bikini model says SARS ruined her life

[NarrowBandFtw]

She doesn't come cheap.

I highly doubt the scores of cocks that went through her every orifice gave a damn if she came at all ...

Any woman that can't be bought is priceless ;-)

Still cheaper than some divorces without the drama!

We actually use Ice Models :wtf:

The plot thus thickens, I wonder if any model agencies mysteriously close up shop real soon.

The Ukraine. I hear they are having a fire-sale.

You'll get a fire cracker now but in 5 years time you going to be stuck with a babushka.

She meant to say her own father ruined her life.

Lebanon’s prime minister Saad Hariri gifted South African model Candice van der Merwe more than $16 million after they met in the Seychelles, the New York Times reported this week based on court documents.
Van der Merwe has been involved in a drawn-out legal battle with the South African Revenue Service (Sars) over a “donation” of $15.3 million (roughly R150 million at the time) she received from Hariri in 2013.
At the time, Van der Merwe didn’t disclose Hariri’s identity, and mentioned her benefactor’s assistant Mahomed Rawas was responsible for the donation, the Mail & Guardian reported.

Thanks to a five-year tax battle we found out who gifted a SA model R150 million: Lebanon’s prime minister | Businessinsider

Their relationship has since ended, and Van der Merwe said she therefore sued Sars R1 billion for loss of income.

She should've jist paid SARS. All of this wouldn't be in the papers. Now everyone knows she's a proz or a "model".

Well Donations taxes are payable.
The first R200K is not counted. Then 20% on the rest.
So she owes them R150 000 000 - R 200 000 = R 149 800 000
20% tax = R29 960 000
Pay up lady

...plus penalties?

From the Business Insider article:

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.

I don't understand how? Given that Saad's companies started to tank, surely she should have sued him for loss of income instead?

Screw this line of thinking. I don't wanna have street whores sue me for loss of income.

The again he is not a South African. SARS expect the person (SA) making the donation to pay
Ah well a bit of useless tax info anyway

 

[mr_norris]

I found the answer from the nytimes article.

She also says the court cases and related publicity had caused irreparable damage to her career and severed her link to Mr. Hariri.

Hmm.

I see.

Actually the donations exemption is R100k per year, not R200k. Also the rate is 20% up to R30 million, and then 25% of however much exceeds R30 million.

The argument that she has put forward is that the money was a gift and not a donation and therefore is not subject to donations tax. Alternatively another argument is that if it was a donation then it was donated by a non-resident and donations by non-residents to residents do not attract donations tax.

This is my understanding as well. My take is that she does not owe SARS anything, and it was gifted/donated by a non-resident.

She should've rather gotten the payment on paypal or bitcoin instead.
