Disciplinary charges served on Mr Tom Moyane

The Presidency has on 3 May 2018, served suspended SARS Commissioner with disciplinary charges related to alleged misconduct in violation of his duties and responsibilities in terms of the South African Revenue Service Act, Public Finance Management Act and SARS Code of Conduct. 
 
Retired Constitutional Court Judge Kate O’Regan has been appointed as presiding officer for the disciplinary inquiry.
 
The inquiry will be conducted in writing to make findings, subject to the presiding officer’s discretion to hear oral evidence.
 
This approach has been chosen to ensure a procedurally fair and speedy disciplinary process. 
 
The disciplinary inquiry relates to alleged leadership and organisational failures.
 
A separate process through, the establishment of a Commission of Inquiry, will focus on tax administrative issues like VAT refunds and shortfalls in revenue in the past two financial years.
 
More details on the Commission of Inquiry will be published shortly.
