Dear Mr Kieswetter. Congratulations on your new appointment as Sars commissioner or should we say good luck? You have been called to take on the huge task of being Sars commissioner. Many South African eyes are carefully watching you as you take on a role that is not so easy to fulfil.
Mr Kieswetter will need to view tax practitioners as a tool in effectively carrying out Sars ’ mandate. This way, tax practitioners and Sars can work together effectively which will allow for tax practitioners’ trust to be restored in Sars . All tax practitioners in South Africa heavily rely on the IT systems of Sars in order to effectively carry out and resolve taxpayers’ tax matters.
It is evident that the information technology department, under the leadership of the controversial Sars head of IT, Mmamathe Makhekhe-Mokhuane lacked leadership and strategic direction. As a result of this and the fact that Tom Moyane halted the modernisation programme, the IT infrastructure deteriorated over this period of four-and-a-half years”
Both this, and the questionable leadership at Sars had an enormous effect on the reputation and effectiveness in which Sars operated for the last few years.
