You think only FC Barcelona players dodged tax? Think again, Kaizer Chiefs star Gaston Sirino has a big bill to pay with SARS.
Several household names in the football world have faced tax-evasion charges.
Four players are leaving Kaizer Chiefs
Sirino must pay up or face further SARS Sanctions
33-year-old Uruguayan Kaizer Chiefs midfielder Gaston Sirino has ignored a request from SARS to pay R6 million in unpaid taxes. That’s according to Sunday World.
“According to the records of the South African Revenue Service, you have failed to pay your tax debt for one or more tax years and tax periods… You are requested to make full payment within 10 days from the date of this letter of demand,” the letter read, as per Sunday World.
“Failure to make full payment or use the above remedies may result in the following actions and possibly others: Sars may appoint any third party who presently or in the future will owe you money or hold money for you to settle your tax debt with this money.
“A civil judgment is being entered against you, in which case a warrant of execution may be issued for the sheriff of the court to attach and sell your assets.”
Dove is the latest Kaizer Chiefs casualty
30-year-old Edmilson Dove is the latest casualty. The club has announced that the Mozambican defender will leave at the end of this month. Given Msimango, Rushwin Dortley and Inacio Miguel are the preferred options in central defence. Meanwhile, Paseka Mako is expected to arrive and challenge Bradley Cross for the left-back role.
Thoughts on this judgment from SARS?
