Nothing in life is certain, except death and taxes – or so the
expression goes. And over the past two decades South African
criminals and tax dodgers have come to realise this truth the
hard way.
Tax sleuth Johann van Loggerenberg was at the centre of
many of SARS’ high-profile cases during his time there. As far
as SARS is concerned all forms of income are subjected to tax,
even if by ill-gotten means. Whether you are a drug dealer
from Durban, one of the hitmen who shot Brett Kebble or
soccer boss Irvin Khoza, you have to pay your dues!
Van Loggerenberg relates the riveting inside stories of the
investigations into businessmen like Dave King, Billy
Rautenbach, Barry Tannenbaum and his ponzi scheme, and
others. Over the years he got to know all the scams and dirty
tricks in the book and he explains these in plain language.
In these investigations the tax authority worked closely
with the police, the NPA and the Directorate of Special
Operations. However, after a few years SARS became the
victim of its own success. In telling the stories of how tax
evaders were caught, Van Loggerenberg also shows how the
power struggle between different state departments and the
phenomenon of state capture in recent years started crippling
SARS.
