SARS Judgement

[Craig Dlamini]

Good day,

I trust you are all in good spirit.

I have a query. My possible client was issued with a judgement from SARS, I do not have exact details of that the judgement was for but I can with almost all certainty confirm it was due to non-compliance.

My client subsequently followed procedures to have his tax affairs sorted out in order to comply with SARS. However he informed me that the judgement against him will only cease after 5 years. According to my knowledge, once the tax affairs are complied with the judgement should be scratched. Secondly should he approach the tax courts? I briefly read over the Tax Administration which provides a few remedies however I have never encountered a case where a judgement is for 5 years.

Any input would be highly appreciated.

Regards,
