JOINT STATEMENT BY THE ELECTORAL COMMISSION (IEC) AND THE SOUTH AFRICAN REVENUE SERVICE (SARS)

4 MARCH 1999

TAXATION OF THE IEC

The Chief Executive Officers of the IEC and SARS met this morning to discuss issues relating to the tax status of the IEC. The two organisations agreed that areas of uncertainty would be mutually addressed.

The Commissioner for SARS confirmed that the funds in the banking accounts are not subject to any attachment order. The IEC is therefore fully entitled to utilise its funds to fulfill its constitutional mandate to ensure free and fair elections.
