Tax crime is manifested in many forms. Here are some prime examples:

• People don’t declare income in order to not pay the tax on that income.
• People lie about their expenses to reduce the tax they pay. For example they may lie about their business mileage, business expenses or even medical contributions.
• People simply don’t submit a tax return to SARS or fail to truthfully respond to our questions.
• Employers sometimes deduct tax from employees and never pay it over to SARS.
• Businesses sometimes charge VAT and never pay it over to SARS.
