The SA Revenue Service (Sars) has obtained a R16-million judgment against former ANC Youth League leader Julius Malema for unpaid taxes, according to a report on Sunday.
The judgment was obtained in the High Court in Pretoria on September 11, City Press reported.
Malema did not oppose the application by Sars.
Sars spokesman Adrian Lackay confirmed the judgment against Malema for R16-million was obtained.
He told the newspaper the amount included unpaid taxes, penalties and interest.
Lackay said he could not give any more details of Malema's tax affairs because a "taxpayer's confidentiality is a legal obligation imposed on Sars".
According to the report Sars was about to seize Malema's property and assets in Gauteng and Limpopo.
Alan Lewis, a tax law consultant and advocate, told City Press the judgment showed two things: Malema had a "hell of a lot of money" and he was in deep trouble.
