Taxpayers who feel like they have been unfairly treated now have a new avenue to air their grievances. The first ever office of the tax ombud in South Africa was officially launched on Monday morning by a smiling Finance Minister Pravin Gordhan, accompanied by the newly appointed ombud, retired judge Bernard Ngoepe.
The tax ombud will act as a "last resort" of complaint for taxpayers who have grievances relating to administrative matters, poor service or the failure by the South African Revenue Service (Sars) to observe taxpayer rights.
