南非税务监察署的一份报告草稿显示,两年来,有近16 000起电子档案劫机案,欺诈者利用薄弱的认证和低数字识字来将退款转回共计2 100万兰特。 A South African Tax Ombud draft report reveals nearly 16,000 eFiling profile hijacking cases over two years, with fraudsters exploiting weak authentication and low digital literacy to redirect refunds totaling R21 million. 大多数事件针对的是纳税人和纳税人个人,主要涉及个人所得税和增值税,欺诈性索赔往往低于10 000兰特,但有些超过100 000兰特。 Most incidents targeted individual taxpayers and tax practitioners, primarily involving Personal Income Tax and VAT, with fraudulent claims often under R10,000 but some exceeding R100,000. 尽管SARS解决了94%对纳税人有利的案例,但系统缺陷,如延迟反应、欺诈检测不力和内幕威胁依然存在。 Despite SARS resolving 94% of cases in taxpayers’ favor, systemic flaws like delayed responses, poor fraud detection, and insider threats persist. 建议包括加强认证、改进退款核查、纳税人教育、修改立法以设立监察主任以及加强与银行和执法部门的协作。 Recommendations include stronger authentication, improved refund verification, taxpayer education, legislative changes to create an Inspector-General, and enhanced collaboration with banks and law enforcement. 对草案的公开评论开放至2025年10月31日。 Public comment on the draft is open until October 31, 2025.
