Question NW2674 to the Minister of Finance
21 August 2015 - NW2674
Motau, Mr SC to ask the Minister of Finance
Whether, with reference to the SA Revenue Service’s investigation into Lesedi Biogas (Pty) Ltd, reference number NCE 1125376, he will provide a detailed update on the status of the investigation?
Reply:
Due to the taxpayer confidentiality provisions contained in Section 69 of the Tax Administration Act No. 28 of 2011, SARS is prohibited from disclosing any taxpayer information (Including whether or not a taxpayer is subject to an audit/ investigation) to any person other than a SARS official. SARS is, therefore, unfortunately not in a position to respond to the above request.
