SARS harassing a women of 103 years old

My grandmother is 103 years old. In November 2023 SARS sent a final warning of an outstanding amount owed to SARS by my grandmother. However, they did not provide the year of which this supposed outstanding amount is coming from. Her tax lawyer called SARS to ensure that this is not a **** and to confirm the year of the supposed outstanding amount. Even the lawyer struggled to get the correct information from SARS. All this trouble over R750 that my grandmother supposedly owes SARS.

No notice was received of the outstanding amount in previous years. The first notice of the so-called outstanding amount was only received in November 2023. Therefore, we were very much surprised when we received this notice from SARS and eventually from debt collectors appointed by SARS.

This lady of 103 years have been paying her tax every year with the assistance of a tax lawyer. How desperate is SARS to harass a woman of 103 years for R750.

We as a family are deeply disappointed with SARS in the way they have handled this matter. We have held SARS as an organisation in very high regard.
