Sars and the NPA are joining forces to combat tax crime and non-compliance with tax laws, which they say erode the tax revenue base and integrity of the tax system.

The SA Revenue Service and the National Prosecuting Authority are joining forces to combat tax crime and non-compliance with tax laws, which they say erode the tax revenue base and integrity of the tax system.

This would cover a number of aspects, but the “immediate focus” was on non-compliance by employers who deduct Pay As You Earn but never turn those taxes over to Sars and do not file their returns when required, as well as other general corrupt activities. “Consequently, the aspirations of a better future for all South Africans are ruined by the unethical and criminal behaviour by some private and public sector actors. They acknowledge that while the NPA and Sars have different mandates, they share a common purpose.

Ngwema said to give expression to this collaboration, the criminal investigation division within Sars would allocate dedicated capacity and work closely with the NPA's specialised tax units to prepare solid cases ready for prosecution.

If the NPA did its job properly SA wouldn't be in the mess it is and the taxpayers would be in SA still.
