#fasttrackingreform #StateCaptureCommission #ZondoCommission @anthonybut @brankobrkic @ferialhaffajee Edward Kieswetter outlines damage done to SARS - huge growth in power of criminal syndicates as SARS was weakened.
@anthonybut @brankobrkic @ferialhaffajee Turning SARS around starts with a clear vision: smart, modern SARS with integriry, trusted and admired
@anthonybut @brankobrkic @ferialhaffajee Kieswetter says the focus is on voluntary compliance rather than forced compliance.
@anthonybut @brankobrkic @ferialhaffajee Everything starts with our theory of the tax paying public: most people are honest. We built a compliance programme on that assumption
@anthonybut @brankobrkic @ferialhaffajee Ismail Momoniat discussed how naive Treasury had been in development of PFMA. Is SARS assumption naive, that most people want to pay tax - especually after years of state capture?
Kieswetter says that if you hire a donkey you can't turn it into a race horse. You can merely make it a better donkey. Recruitment practices key. @anthonybut @brankobrkic @ferialhaffajee
@anthonybut @ferialhaffajee @brankobrkic While damage to SARS was huge, there were many who had not forgotten their purpose - Organisational DNA was largely in tact.
