The SA Revenue Service (SARS) announced that they will try to reverse the “fatal” decisions under Tom Moyane leadership. The reinstatement of “key teams” will address the “illegal” economy to collect the target of more than R1.3 trillion in tax.
Illegal smuggling in cigarettes and perlemoen, as well as illegal the gold trade, the fuel industry and organized crime are the focus of the teams.
The problem is, however, that knowledgeable people have left while others have been “transferred” to other sectors.

The reversal road is one that will not be easy and lost millions are lost and will certainly never be recovered.
