South African Revenue Service (SARS) has again accused Economic Freedom Fighters leader Julius Malema of lying about his source of income and hit him with an additional R14m tax bill, reports say.
This was according to court papers filed in the North Gauteng High Court by SARS which has launched an application for Malema's final sequestration.
According to the report, SARS, dumped its deal with Malema, because they believe Malema had lied about the source of the fund he used to settle part of his tax bill.
The agency said Malema tried to dodge paying donation tax and accussed him of receiving money from questionable sources to settle the R18m tax bill, which was reduced to R7.2m in a deal in May last year.
The case was adjourned till June. It was informed that if court grants the final order Malema will lose his Parliament membership.
This is more trouble for Malema who is battling to keep his party above the board, even facing accusations of financial misappropriation by members.
