I reported a case of tax evasion to SARS via their contactus@sars.gov.za email as the online facility is limited to a certain number of characters and then you cant continue. I provided them with all the details that would be required to investigate i.e. names and bank account numbers, plus how the evasion is being orchestrated. Upon reporting you get a case number and a commitment that you will be updated re the progress on the case.
Two weeks later I get a letter via email indicating that the case has been resolved as per the "resolution below". There is nothing except half a page telling how to contact SARS to get your tax number and a lot of other contact information which has no relevance to the reported case. Once again I contact them via their email indicating that there is no resolution in the document they sent me, again I get a case number. A week later I get the same letter back which was initially sent to me stating that the case has been resolved as per the "resolution below", and once again there is nothing.
In the meantime it's business as usual for the perpetrators of the fraudulent activities and SARS just doesn't seem to have the appetite to do anything about it. I am not talking small amounts of money, and the activities have been going on for years. There is a political connection to it, is that perhaps why SARS are not interested in investigating the case?
My question now is, who do I go to in an attempt to get something done about it as it would seem that I am flogging a dead horse with SARS?
