sars shifts focus to escalating penalties for noncompliant trusts

A major drive for the South African Revenue Service Sars under the leadership of new commissioner Johnstone Makhubu is to broaden the unsustainable narrow tax base.

Current figures show that just 13.2 of taxpayers are responsible for half of all personal income tax collected.

The focus is shifting to non-compliance by provisional taxpayers, especially those who use trusts and receive income.
