We have become inured to reports of inefficiency in government organisations, but when it manifests in a person who is supposed to have ethics and good standing it is a bitter pill to swallow. I have had the same tax practitioner since 1998 and delegated my tax matters to him as he is a chartered accountant.
To discover that he has abdicated his duties for the past five years and incurred enormous penalties for me from the South African Revenue Service is like reading a horror story.
One hopes that the authorities can impose some form of sanction for what surely amounts to dereliction of duty.
