I would literally rather die twice than to go to SARS.
Well I guess my argument is invalid, because we are legally obliged to liaise with the Taxman from time to time.
It is possible to file tax returns electronically, but one has to go there for certain things. I say ‘things’ because I know next to nothing about the world of taxes and deal with it only when I am told to do so by the man who handles my financial affairs.
Two locals shared their SARS experiences on Facebook this week. Read it and weep.
Resident Tom Farmer shared his experience in Afrikaans.
He arrived at 08:10.
Three hours later he reported that 11 of the 28 counters were manned.
Three additional counters were vacated by lunchtime.
He was done six hours after having arrived and commented that tonight’s wine show could not have come at a better time.
I had a similar experience last year. Frustration made me lose my marbles.
Read about it here.
