Overview

• SARS says former Prasa chief Lucky Montana proposed a R5.4 million compromise to settle an assessed R55 million tax debt.
• The agency alleges he failed to file income tax returns for 2017, 2018 and 2019 and under-declared income from various sources.
• SARS cautions it will reveal details of his tax affairs unless he withdraws what it calls false claims, including an accusation of a fabricated court judgment.
• The sequestration application against Montana remains in effect with no answering affidavit filed by him, according to SARS.
• SARS cites the Tax Administration Act requirement that a compromise cannot be considered on a disputed debt and says it has asked police to probe alleged abuse of complaints procedures.
