South Africa tax agency reform will bolster government
Keyword(s):
Significance The fifth consecutive year of revenue shortfalls follows years of mismanagement and institutional turmoil at SARS under former Commissioner Tom Moyane, an ally of former President Jacob Zuma (2009-18). On March 27, President Cyril Ramaphosa appointed the respected Edward Kieswetter as the new SARS commissioner to help turn around the once-lauded agency. Impacts Kieswetter’s appointment should help improve relations between SARS and the National Treasury, and SARS and law enforcement agencies. Rebuilding SARS's depleted skills pool will be a significant challenge for Kieswetter. Internal divisions within SARS could persist over the short term, driven by Moyane loyalists.
