Pravin Gordhan Quotations

People want to be in the tax register but are afraid of fines, penalties and interest from the past. The amnesty allows them an opportunity to come into the fold. Money is not the main reason we are offering the amnesty.

We at Sars should try to be creative, and to demonstrate goodwill. But out there, you will always have those who are being deliberately evasive. And honest taxpayers will want us to create a level playing field.

There is not big money to be made through offering amnesty. What we are trying to do is create a sustainable culture of paying tax and flow of money.

This is probably due to companies paying out lower bonuses and lower than estimated wage increases.
