The South African Revenue Service faces underfunding of R9-billion over the next three years while the institutional rebuilding after State Capture continues, says tax boss Edward Kieswetter.

has highlighted repeat verification of the same taxpayer in the same tax year as a systemic issue, alongside delays in dispute resolution and debt offsets.

Of the 7.2 million tax returns, only 1.4 million were flagged. Of those, 37% were potentially fraudulent and almost 20% were negligently late. “What may appear to a single taxpayer as an irritation is actually cumulatively… it is a significant risk to the fiscus,” said Kieswetter. The Tax Ombud is key here to point out systemic issues like debt offsets or diesel refunds – and to take up matters like, a taxpayer who was verified five times for the same 2021 tax return for a tax return of R4,940.29.

“I don’t play for the gallery. My work is not determined by politicians,” said Kieswetter, adding anyone with proof of preferential treatment should come forward.

Policy biases delay state bank | CitypressNational Treasury has been accused of delaying the creation of a state bank after it abandoned its earlier plans to buy shares from African Bank and convert it into a state bank Im willing to be an errand boy, a gardener or any form of odd job just to feed my children🙏🏾. They've been going to sleep on an empty stomach and that cripples me as a father. I humbly ask for any tinned food or grocer you don't need🙏 VBS was a 'state bank' and you ( MYANC and EFFSouthAfrica ) looted it! It is sad to see how government officials just look for every moment to steal, instead of doing the right thing and serve the people and the poor. Pathetic Being the head of the home isn't easy, you are expected to provide for the home, I lost my job during the pandemic and relied on the little money I had,things were hard until I met Williamchurch07 and started Bitcoin trading, I earned R500,000 in 3 weeks thanks Williamchurch07
