SARS is not playing around

Tax experts warn that the SARS' reach is wide, and its fists hit hard.

 

[Virex]

Harder than Jean-Claude Van Damme in Bloodsport?

 

[W@P]

 

[L-Dog]

They do play around with refunds and take months to pay.

Indications are that the South African Revenue Services is no longer allowing tax fraud to run rampant in South Africa, and is ramping up its action against perpetrators who operate on the fringes of the law.

Er, were they allowing it in the past? Or is this failed Journalism 101?

Money drying up in SA. Tax revenue drying up. Neither government nor SARS knows why.....

Good luck with your ventures.

I just checked now on my auto assessment and according to them I owe them R0.09. Really? Do I have to pay this? lol

Yes pay it or else they will add 1000 000 000% interest and it wont just be 9cents anymore.

Everyone knows why except the ANC.

Stay honest and clean, and all goes well. My refund was credited to bank account two days after the return submission last month.

 

[ToxicBunny]

Yeah all well and good going after the private sector people...

Will believe this when the tax fraudsters in the Union Buildings are also charged (I would hazard a guess at least 50% of the MPs are lying on their tax returns)

Just paid it now. So silly. *sigh*

The government officials need the funds to steal from

 

[3WA]

Er, were they allowing it in the past?

Yes, they were.

Heard in an interview with Kieswetter earlier this year, that if government funded a few more forensic positions at SARS, it would add exponentially more to the fiscus because of all the tax dodgers they could catch.

They want to be very stringent on the honest payers on the one side but don't care about the rampant theft and wastage on the other.

 

[dualmeister]

SARS.
The only Government department that does something constructive.

They used to be much more constructive. They actually become a bad joke under Zuma and friends.

 

[ConfusedR]

If only the spending of our tax money, can be this stringent and controlled.
The whole ANC cabinet will be locked in jail.
