Gary van der Merwe and his daughter Candice have been evicted from their home after his fourth attempt to stave off a Sars bid to extract tax from him.
This was the fourth time Van der Merwe had tried to have the firm placed into business rescue‚ a tactic viewed by the court as trying to frustrate the liquidators rather than restoring the company to solvency.
He said the Sars investigation stemmed from a Financial Intelligence Centre report regarding a suspicious transaction involving $15m. “While the organisation is rebuilding the capacity that was deliberately destroyed over the years, there are women and men who retain the wherewithal to effectively manage large and complex legal matters. This court victory shows that despite the aforesaid obstacles, the organisation will continue to confront recalcitrant taxpayers.
