The turmoil that the South African Revenue Service has been under in recent years, was again evident in the preliminary tax collections figures on Monday, where it reported revenue shortfalls for the 2018/19 year reached R57.4-billion.
Last year’s technical recession impacted on revenue collections. But a key element of the latest revenue gap, has also been the role that increased tax refunds to the public and businesses have played — notably value added tax refunds.to artificially inflate tax revenue collection figures. “There seems to have been a lot of artificial playing around to make sure the target was reached and I think what’s good to see is Sars is being fully transparent,” he said, adding that the agency’s recovery will not be “instantaneous.”
Meanwhile VAT refunds for the year totalled R229.2-billion, exceeding the estimate reflecting an increase of R38.1 billion or 19.9% on the previous year. This growth according to Sars was driven by the R9.3-billion, or 13.2% increase in payments to the small and medium vendors, while large vendors received R5-billion, or 5.2%, more refunds than in the previous year.
Weak economy and record emigration of high earners.
