Sars celebrates historic ruling against taxpayer abuse of court system

Cape Town – The South African Revenue Service is celebrating after winning a vexatious litigation application in opposition to the obstructive behaviour by a taxpayer intended to delay legal proceedings.

Van der Merwe’s action was deemed ’’an extreme example of a taxpayer abusing the court system and making unsubstantiated allegations against Sars of corruption, fraud and harassment’’. Sars commissioner Edward Kieswetter said the legal action by van der Merwe and others over more than 10 years was intended to thwart the organisation from fulfilling its legislated mandate and to frustrate every effort to bring finality to the matters against him.

Kieswetter expressed the hope that the judgment would deter others from initiating frivolous and vexatious litigation against Sars to stop it from carrying out its core business, which is to collect all revenue due.

But Zuma does this all the time..
