'Sars must not be a toothless tiger when dealing with tax evasion and illegitimate trades and financial flows.'
“While most taxpayers seek to comply, there are cases of taxpayers who are less co-operative when declaring income, or have a clear incentive to withhold key facts about the nature of income-generating activities of the person or business. In such cases it is necessary for Sars to have intrusive enforcement capacity to deal with such evasion,” the submission said.
“I am sure the honourable member will also agree that Sars must have significant intrusive powers, not only to deal with taxpayers concealing information on income received, but also to counter illegitimate trades in commodities such as tobacco, liquor and counterfeit goods,” Mboweni said. Public protector Busisiwe Mkhwebane found in July that Gordhan had violated the constitution with the establishment of the “illegal” rogue unit.
