But Sars, which is offering a differentiated increase of 7%, said it was not able to accede to this and that it needed more time to consult with its principals. A meeting had thus been scheduled for Monday for the parties to try to find one another on remaining issues.
“Sars is confident that the meetings arranged for Monday and Tuesday through the chairperson of the Sars National Bargaining Forum will yield results, and a settlement will be reached,” Sars said on Saturday. “SARS is funded through a grant like all other government departments. Due to the shrinking revenues and growing debt levels, the 3-year Estimate of National Expenditure by National Treasury has reined in government expenditure over the next three years. Whatever wage settlement Sars enters, it should be within the ENE framework over the next three years.
“Sars believes that the 11.4% increase demand of organised labour is out of reach in the current economic climate where CPI is sitting at 4.1% as of February 2019. Sars’ offer of 7% is 2.9 percentage points above CPI ,” the tax collection agency said. .
