The South African Revenue Services (SARS) says it has received consent from President Cyril Ramaphosa and his business entities to disclose his tax affairs following public interest in the matter.

The revenue collector says in terms of the law, it is not allowed to make public statements on individual tax matters without their written consent.

On Monday, SARS announced that it did not receive any declaration of foreign currency found at the President’s Phala Phala farm. In a statement, SARS Commissioner Edward Kieswetter confirms that at no stage was he approached by President Ramaphosa or anyone on his behalf with any request relating to his personal tax affairs or his business entities.According to SARS, to date, all audits on the President and his entities have been concluded without any adverse tax findings.Meanwhile, SARS has encouraged other high profile political office bearers and leaders to follow on the President’s footsteps for more transparency.

CR17 had 2000% more public interest

why sealed CR22 documents in public interest far outweighing this stunt!?

sarstax when Zuma wanted his record given to PP and made public you were to court, you think we are bloody stupid playing politics because the commissioner is a friend of this buffoon

Didn't ZUMA also gave Public Protector permission to access his record? SARS opposed that Now this...

We know ramaphosa is tax compliant. We want to know who was responsible for declaring the 580k, that's all we want to know. Mustafa want his money back, God help this government if Mustafa is paid from state coffers.........

PetersWonderboy As it appears, SA is Cyril’s kindergarten!

The same sarstax that collaborated with courts in refusing to release Zuma's tax information🤭? I must be damned!!! How does Sars work kante? So they decide which tax information for which individuals to release and for which not to disclose?

We want to know where were the dollars from, why not declare the money

It is not a pool...It is a FIREPOOL.

We want CR17 statements

bacabanga ukuthi siyizilima thina. Insulting!!!

bacabanga ukuthi siyizilima thina.

Kieswetter is protecting a criminal.

Lies...there was no public interest in Ramaphosa's useless tax affairs.

Irrelevant. No one cares about that

That SARS Commissioner is a colluding criminal. Asizuva ngaye. SARS has no Mattress and Sofa Banks Audit Unit. These are lies.

Stop annoying us with nonsense,we are not interested in his tax affairs,fact is he didn't declare those dollars !

The media is useless

A crime happened in that farm and owner concealed it. Stop trying to defend him because you are not going to win.

Answering questions that were never asked will not make the matter go away.

Can he please give us a go ahead on unsealing the documents?

This has nothing to do PhalaPhalaFarmGate but just a misdirection' SARS has already confirmed that it has no records of $580 000 paid to PresidencyZA CyrilRamaphosa PhalaPhalaFarm SARS must release a statement about PhalaPhalaFarmGate not Ramaphosa current SARS status

Only now, I can't believe we support cunning people like yourself.

Am embarrassed on behalf of SARS...

Damage control

The question is whether the dollars were declared? Why are we being told about his tax compliant? Obviously, these dollars weren't part of his out put vat, and he will be compliant. South African media, you are being accomplice to covering criminality.

Ramaphosa is taking us for a ride, he must talk to us about the Phala Phala saga not this nonsense.

Since the weekend when he had 1 day flu, till now...enough time to build more lies & hide/bribe. Name 1 thing that our president has really been honest about? With Loadshedding, he was gonna be solved a week or so back under pressure,he has nothing to do with it. So many stories.

He's got no shinanigans there, we want him to give a go ahead on banks to disclose his statements, why this is so easy but the other one has to be protected by court?

We do not want his tax information, we want to know whether he declared the dollars/currency? Trying to spin this on tax information is another attempt to make us fools.

Did he declare the Money? How did the Money get into the SOFA?

My transparent President.

That's why this country is collapse and he have no clue crime and unemployment is high what kind of president who busy with his business while our country got so much problems that he fails to fix this is nonsense

Wow so is this meant to make him look transparent? Nice try CR17BankStatements this man is a mgulukudu

After he has cleaned It up 🙄

Because he has had plenty time to hide things!

A president who is running businesses who promised to put his businesses in a blind trust

Lies have short legs Hide nothing from the masses

OK, but what's under the mattress?

Fire pool vibes 🙌🔥

SARS is playing mind games ,someone must have visited and threatened them .

This is an insult to the public, public is not interested in this matter, niyadelela ke manje. This is rubbish, this are two different matters, stop changing focus. Compliance is something else. The Criminal must answer about his crimes.

We do not oppose that Phala Phala Farm & Ntaba Nyoni Estate are not tax compliant We are saying that, Cyril Ramaphosa & Phala Phala Farm did not declare the dollars that were found hidden on his private bank (Mattress Bank) And that is tax evasion & criminality in South Africa

Who asked about his tax compliance or affairs, this guy think we are fools like his followers.

Accounting 101: Revenue recognition principle. Hamba wena Buffalo 🤣🤣🤣

Other tax we don't care their status know but below one

Too little too late for this damage control.

We don't care about other tax affairs, the dollars nje. Just the $580k hard cash.

Cyril is a crook and he can only be trusted by those who are also stealing from the state
