Cape Town - SARS will focus on the minibus taxi industry in the coming financial year as it embarks on a major compliance drive, revealed Finance Minister Tito Mboweni.
He was answering in a written parliamentary Q&A session, a question asked by DA MP Geordin Hill-Lewis. The MP wanted to know the total amount received from the industry and whether if Sars was concerned about tax avoidance in the cash-dominated industry.
âSars collected approximately R5 million in corporate income tax (CIT), from taxi operators; however this amount includes tax collected from their employment income. This is because the industry does not correctly disclose income from taxi business on their CIT returns but included under a generic income source code. We were not able to determine income solely from taxi operations,â the minister said.
