Bringing (and keeping) home the bacon: SARS’ repatriation and collection powers affirmed

Sections 180, 184(2) and 186(3) of the Tax Administration Act 28 of 2011 (TAA) grant the South African Revenue Service (SARS) significant powers to recover tax debts from third parties responsible for a taxpayer’s failure to pay outstanding tax debts. In the recent case of Greyvensteyn v Commissioner for South African Revenue Service and Others (B2495/2023) ZAGPPHC 128, the applicant unsuccessfully challenged the constitutionality of these provisions. The High Court dismissed the application and emphasised that, while SARS’ powers and duties of recovery of taxes are not absolute, the recovery of taxes is crucial to ensure that the public benefit and public interest are served.
