The Organisation Undoing Tax Abuse (OUTA), says they have discovered some serious corruption relating to the issuing of roadworthy certificate systems at vehicle testing stations in the country. OUTA SAYS corruption at these stations contributes to South Africa's high road accident rate, which costs the country over 2% of its GDP according to a report compiled by OUTA, which has now decided to go public with its investigation. For more on this, Sakina Kamwendo spoke to Rudie Heyneke, Senior Project Manager at OUTA

Die Organisasie teen Belastingmisbruik vra die Parlement om beheer te verskerp oor ministers se voordele. OUTA wil hê alle veranderings aan byvoordele moet hersien, bereken en openbaar gemaak word. Dit volg ná 'n voorlegging wat die Wysigingswetsontwerp op die Vergoeding van Openbare Ampsdraers steun, om te keer dat byvoordele toegestaan word sonder behoorlike toesig. Stefanie Fick van OUTA sê die huidige stelsel laat ministers toe om voordele soos gratis water en elektrisiteit te ontvang sonder openbare of parlementêre insae:

Die Organisasie teen Belastingmisbruik het die Nasionale Tesourie se voorstelle om BTW te verhoog en persoonlike inkomstebelastingskale onveranderd te laat, verwerp, en dit as onregverdig teenoor 'n reeds oorlaaide belastingbetalersbasis beskryf. Die organisasie voer aan dat hierdie verhogings plaasvind terwyl miljarde verlore gaan weens korrupsie, ondoeltreffendheid en vermorsing. Outa se uitvoerende hoof, Wayne Duvenage sê die verkoop van nie-noodsaaklike ondernemings in staatsbesit sal inkomste genereer, verantwoordelikhede verminder en die regering se doeltreffendheid verbeter.

Tax Bracket Creep and VAT Hike: OUTA Calls for Urgent Tax Reform by Radio Islam

Outa is nie verbaas oor die inhegtenisneming van die voormalige raadslid van die Suid-Afrikaanse Lugdiens Yakhe Kwinana vir afpersing nie. Kwinana moet vandag in die Landdroshof in Oos-Londen verskyn omdat sy na bewering gewapende mans gebruik het om slagoffers af te pers en geld te eis. Die uitvoerende hoof van Outa Wayne Duvenage het aan Newzroom Afrika gesê Kwinana se beweerde korrupte optrede het haar lot verseël en hy verwelkom haar skrapping van die rol van geoktrooieerde rekenmeesters:

Die Organisasie teen Belastingmisbruik sê die regering moet die befondsingsgaping in die MIV/Vigs-programme dringend aanspreek nadat die VSA sy steun gestaak het. Die organisasie waarsku begrotingsbeperkings kan toegang tot behandeling in gevaar stel vir die miljoene mense wat staatmaak op antiretrovirale behandeling. OUTA se uitvoerende hoof, Wayne Duvenage, vra die regering om doeltreffende besteding voorop te stel en vermorsing te verminder om volhoubare gesondheidsorgbefondsing te verseker.

Die organisasie teen belastingmisbruik, Outa, het wydverspreide korrupsie in Suid-Afrika se stelsel vir voertuigpadwaardigheidstoetse onthul. Die ondersoek dui aan dat sekere toetssentrums padwaardigheidsertifikate uitreik sonder om 'n fisiese inspeksie te doen, dikwels in ruil vir omkoopgeld. Die organisasie se bevindings beklemtoon die risiko vir die publiek se veiligheid, aangesien onpadwaardige voertuie bydra tot noodlottige ongelukke. Outa se Rudie Heyneke vra 'n omvattende ondersoek en strenger regulasies:

OUTA wants a critical review of the electoral system to strengthen democracy by Radio Islam

Die Organisasie teen Belastingmisbruik is gekant teen Eskom se voorgestelde elektrisiteitsprysverhoging van 66-persent oor drie jaar en beskou dit as onbekostigbaar en tot nadeel van die ekonomie. Hulle vra die kragvoorsiener om daarop te fokus om uitgawes te besnoei asook die verbetering van doeltreffendheid en om hom toe te spits op skoon energie. Outa-woordvoerder, Stefanie Fick, versoek die Nasionale Energiereguleerder van Suid-Afrika om die verhogings te verwerp om verdere ekonomiese swaarkry vir verbruikers en ondernemings te voorkom:

OUTA slams Eskom's 66% price hike proposal as unaffordable by Radio Islam

Die Organisasie teen Belastingmisbruik versoek die regering om befondsing vir sleutelliggame teen korrupsie, soos die Nasionale Vervolgingsgesag en die Spesiale Ondersoekeenheid, te vergroot. Hulle waarsku 'n gebrek aan toesig in openbare-private vennootskappe kan aanleiding gee tot vermorste belastingbetalersgeld en ondoeltreffendheid. Die uitvoerende hoof van Outa, Wayne Duvenage, kritiseer die mediumtermyn-begrotingsrede van die minister van Finansies, Enoch Godongwana, omdat dit nie voorrang gee aan die stryd teen korrupsie en finansiële wangedrag nie.

OUTA's Julius Kleynhans weighs in on the failure by the national department of water and sanitation to meet deadlines and replace bucket toilets in informal settlements. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Die Organisasie teen Belastingmisbruik sê die regering moet meer doen en minder praat oor die verlaging van brandstofheffings. Die minister van Minerale en Petroleumhulpbronne, Gwede Mantashe, sê besprekings oor die verlaging van brandstofpryse tussen sy departement en Nasionale Tesourie gaan voort. Dit sluit in die verlaging van brandstofbelastings, wat die prys by die pomp tot meer as 20 Suid-Afrikaanse rand opstoot. Outa se uitvoerende hoof, Wayne Duvenage, sê die verlaging beteken nie net dat twee brandstofheffings geskrap sal word nie.

Die Organisasie teen Belastingmisbruik vra vir duidelikheid oor Gauteng se 3 miljard Suid-Afrikaanse rand e-tolskuld wat na verwagting vandag betaal sal word. Die LUR vir Finansies, Lebbogang Maile, het verlede week die geskeduleerde betaling bevestig. Maile het erken die skuld is 'n aansienlike finansiële las, want dit word van die provinsie verwag om sowat 20 miljard rand se skuld te dek. Wayne Duvenhage van Outa doen 'n beroep vir die uitwissing van verkwistende uitgawes en 'n deursigtige proses.

Outa het die uitlewering geloof van die voormalige Eskom-kontrakteur, Michael Lomas, wat gekoppel word aan die Kusile-bedrogsaak van 745-miljoen-Suid-Afrikaanse rand. Interpol het hom uitgelewer en hy sal saam met voormalige Eskom-bestuurders en ander beskuldigdes teregstaan. Lomas, wat in 2021 in Brittanje in hegtenis geneem is, is borgtog van 1,7-miljoen-rand en 'n bykomende sekerheidsborg van 4,3-miljoen-rand toegestaan. Rudie Heyneke van Outa het aan eNCA gesê verantwoording moet seëvier.
