Africa-Press – South-Africa. <\/strong><\/span>Two people have appeared in the Pretoria Specialised Commercial Crimes Court for alleged tax evasion of more than R10 million after scoring a R45 million personal protective equipment (PPE) tender from the police at the start of the Covid-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n

PSR Solutions (Pty) Ltd director Suzan Pheladi Raphela, 32, and SA Business Accountant and Associates director Sibusiso Sanele Mhlongo, 29, briefly appeared in court on Thursday after being served with a summons.<\/p>\n

Raphela and Mhlongo have been charged with four counts of fraud related to the more than R10 million tax evasion, six counts of non-submission of tax returns and one count of non-registration of VAT.<\/p>\n

According to the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA), both accused, including their companies, allegedly defrauded SARS after PSR Solutions was awarded a PPE tender from the police.<\/p>\n

Covid-19: So, what do we do with all of our masks now that they are no longer required?<\/p>\n

“It is alleged that at the time PSR Solutions received the tender from SAPS, the company was not registered as a VAT vendor,” NPA spokesperson Lumka Mahanjana said.<\/p>\n

“However, when the company eventually registered as a VAT vendor in June 2020, it failed to disclose the R45 million payment received from SAPS, and therefore did not return its tax value.”<\/p>\n

The company allegedly only declared the VAT amount on the R45 million after being notified by SARS of an audit being conducted.<\/p>\n

“They fraudulently claimed R4.4 million with the assistance of SA Business Accountant and Associates, a company that completed tax returns on behalf of PSR Solutions without valid supporting documents,” Mahanjana added.<\/p>\n

The case has been postponed to 3 August for disclosure of the docket, which indicates investigations into it have been finalised.<\/p>\n
