🚨 SARS IS OWED APPROXIMATELY R532 BILLION
This is not merely a headline.
If a taxpayer ignores a SARS Letter of Final Demand, SARS may instruct a bank, employer or customer to pay money directly to it. SARS may also obtain a civil judgment, attach assets and pursue further legal recovery.
Company directors and those managing a company’s finances may also face personal-liability risks in certain circumstances.
But being unable to pay is not the same as refusing to pay.
Depending on the facts, the appropriate solution may be:
• Disputing an incorrect assessment
• Requesting suspension of payment
• Applying for a payment arrangement
• Requesting remission of qualifying penalties
• Seeking a compromise of tax debt
Join me on Know Your Tax as we explain what SARS can do, what a Letter of Final Demand really means and the relief available to taxpayers who act before enforcement advances.
