SARS BOSS KIESWETTER ON WHY HE WANTS YOUR DATA

Commissioner of the South African Revenue Service (SARS) Edward Kieswetter says that the tax collecting agency has expanded its use of data to ensure a seamless experience for customers.

In a discussion with Wits Business School, Kieswetter, said: “We use data to do risk profiling of every taxpayer. We use data and artificial intelligence to select taxpayers for further auditing or investigation, but we also use data and technology to provide a seamless experience for most taxpayers.”

“We believe that the best service is no service. We don’t want to be better at queue management, we want to address the root causes, so we don’t have queues.”

The commissioner said that SARS also uses data and artificial intelligence to select taxpayers for further auditing or investigation. The tax service said that efforts to increase and expand the use of data to improve the integrity of outcomes and enhance its capability to detect instances of non-compliance are beginning to bear fruit.
