NATIONAL NEWS - Finance Minister Nhlanhla Nene says its vital that all taxpayers have full confidence that every cent provided to the fiscus will be well spent.
The minister confirmed on Tuesday that the South African Revenue Services (Sars) came close to meeting its collection target for the last financial year, raking in R1.216 trillion.
Sars missed its target for the previous financial year, a gap the Treasury said was partially to blame for the nearly R49 billion budget shortfall.
