The Information Regulator South Africa IRSA says it has directed the South African Revenue Services SARS to release Former President Jacob Zumas tax records.
Last year, the Regulator received a complaint against SARS in relation to Zumas tax records. Following an investigation, the regulator has found that SARS was not justified in denying access to the requested records and directed that Zumas records be released to the requester.
The Regulator held a media briefing this week on the outcomes of its various investigations relating to the Protection of Information Act and the Promotion of Access to Information Act. The IRSA says it has conducted 80 own-initiative Promotion of Access to Information Act PAIA compliance assessments on public and private bodies.
