SARS ******s complaint tax payers, and trying to make it difficult for them to comply

I wasn't registered for provisional tax. As advised by my accountant me paying it once off was good enough. Then after paying SARS in full, meaning I was fully tax compliant, they gave me a penalty. This penalty was for not paying provisional tax, which I wasn't registered for.

My accountant suggested I registered for provisional tax, and she reported to me that SARS had done this with various individuals. This is a clear abuse of power towards law abiding citizens. Registering for provisional tax and then s****ing the money together to be able to try and get back on track with provisional tax has been difficult but I've been busy doing my best.

At the time of the fine, I asked my accountant to dispute this. I requested her to do this multiple times. eventually they stopped after asking my accountant 3 times to dispute this. Now this ******* organization is claiming a year later I didn't respond and they are sending out external debt collector for R2.8k. SARS should be stopped on preying on law abiding citizens imposing bogus fines, and they should be forced to allow you to pay tax in a matter that is comfortable for you.

SARS is also the same company that gives the money to the SA government where the money are misused and abused. This company pretends to have the moral high ground whilst treating honest tax payers like ****. There should be something that can be done to neuter SARS, and make them an honest government entity, who rather than think citizens are ********s, look at government and work on transparency to see that our tax money are used in the correct way, rather than more ANC *******ion.
