QUESTION 1 (TAX ADMINISTRATION AND TAX AVOIDANCE) The
Tax Administration Act 28 of 2011 (TAA) empowers the
Commissioner for the South African Revenue Service (the
Commissioner) to conduct audits on taxpayers. The
Commissioner has, over the years, announced that the South
African Revenue Service (SARS) will conduct audits on all
taxpayers that enjoy a certain lifestyle. Most recently, the
Commissioner announced that taxpayers who buy certain
premium-brand goods would be subjected to audits. In doing
so, SARS is upholding its commitment to keep a close eye on the
so-called High-Net-Worth (HNW) taxpayers. A HNW taxpayer is
defined as a person whose estate is worth more than R50
million. Following the above statement, SARS announces in the
press that it will be conducting lifestyle questionnaires on all
wealthy taxpayers who are members of the Vintage Club. The
Vintage Club receives a notice from SARS demanding
information about the names and personal details of its
members. WHAT IS REQUIRED OF YOU: The club approaches
you for advice regarding SARS’ notice. Advise the club in terms
of the existing law. [15] SUB-TOTAL FOR QUESTION 1 [15 marks]
,To advise the Vintage Club on SARS’s notice, let's analyze the
issue through the lens of the relevant legal provisions in South
African tax administration law.
1. The Powers of SARS Under the Tax Administration Act (TAA)
The Tax Administration Act 28 of 2011 (TAA) grants the
Commissioner for SARS broad powers to gather
information for tax assessment and enforcement purposes.
Section 46 of the TAA allows SARS to request information,
documents, or things that may be relevant to assessing a
taxpayer’s compliance with tax laws. SARS may issue such a
request to any person, whether the information directly
relates to that person or a third party, as is the case here
with the Vintage Club.
This section allows SARS to conduct lifestyle audits and
collect information from third parties like the Vintage Club,
particularly when targeting High-Net-Worth (HNW)
individuals to confirm that their reported income and
lifestyle align.
2. Privacy Rights and Confidentiality Concerns
The Constitution of South Africa (Section 14) protects
individuals' right to privacy, which is relevant in balancing
SARS’s powers against members’ privacy.
However, the Promotion of Access to Information Act
(PAIA) and the TAA enable SARS to access private
, information when it is in the public interest or necessary
for tax compliance.
SARS’s ability to request personal details from the Vintage
Club members could, therefore, be justified under PAIA if
the information is essential for a legitimate purpose, like
assessing tax obligations of HNW taxpayers.
3. Third-Party Information Requests Under the TAA
SARS is within its rights to issue the notice under Section
46 of the TAA. However, it must ensure that the request is
necessary, specific, and related to tax compliance.
If the Vintage Club challenges the notice, it could argue
that SARS must demonstrate that the information sought is
directly relevant to identifying tax non-compliance among
its members.
4. Obligations of the Vintage Club
As a recipient of a notice under Section 46, the Vintage
Club is legally obligated to comply unless there are grounds
to dispute the request.
If the club believes the notice is overly broad, it may
request clarification or modifications from SARS to limit
the scope of the requested information. However, outright
refusal could result in penalties under the TAA.
5. Potential Courses of Action for the Vintage Club
