Sheriff instructed to attach ANC property
SARS has slapped the ANC with a major bill for unpaid taxes that it had to go to the High court to get paid.
In December, the Gauteng High Court (Johannesburg) issued a civil judgment instructing the sheriff to attach assets to the value of R102m in 10 days.
The Daily Maverick reports that the sheriff’s office did not immediately respond to a request for whether it had done so or not.
The ANC employs 346 staff members at its Luthuli House headquarters, and it has not paid over employee tax, UIF or the skills development levy, although it deducted these from staff.
In 2021, staff repeatedly protested at Luthuli House, and the party kept promising to pay but did not.
Nehawu, which represents ANC staff members, revealed that UIF and provident fund deductions had been made but not paid over.
The SARS judgment has clarified that the party did not pay over personal income taxes or the skills development levy.
