The SA Revenue Service, using hi-tech data analysis systems, is ramping up operations against tax dodgers and targeting South Africans squirrelling away money and assets in offshore havens.

It said data gleaned from overseas sources included the exchange of information on South Africans with offshore financial assets from 100 foreign jurisdictions.Through data collection and machine-learning programs, Sars had collected R115bn from compliance activities, of which “33% [is from] the results from the automatic risk profiling of taxpayers using data and machine learning.

Sars said of 275 people who had been found, through information exchange programmes, to have assets in overseas tax havens, “the first 50 individuals have been selected for further scrutiny”. Sars said through an analysis of the government’s central supplier database of companies involved in personal protective equipment procurements, it had also uncovered a number of non-compliant businesses. These included:

2,380 VAT-registered vendors have filed nil returns, despite having collectively earned more than R9bn from government contracts.
