SARS give child welfare a chance to get its house in order
A meeting was held with SARS where a proposal was made on how child welfare could pay back the money owed
CHILD Welfare Kempton Park has not had its assets attached as was expected.
The organisation’s director, Makha Thusi, said they were able to negotiate with SARS on how they would pay the money owed, which is over R337 000.

“A meeting was held with SARS on July 4, where all required documentation as well as a proposal on how child welfare could pay back the money owed without having its assets attached, was submitted,” Thusi explained.
SARS advised they would take up the proposal with its committee and provide feedback thereafter.
“Child welfare is not out of the woods until a response from the SARS committee has been received. For now, we can only afford to pay R10 000 a month, which unfortunately cannot even cover the accumulated interest currently escalating at a daily rate of 10 per cent.”
Child welfare still appeals to the public for assistance (in cash or kind) to help them pay back the debt owed to SARS, while resolving the matter with Child Welfare South Africa.
