Kingon will serve in that role until such date as a new commissioner for Sars is appointed by the president.
Section 7 of the Sars Act empowers the minister of finance to appoint an acting commissioner. The president, however, appoints a permanent commissioner.
“Following the judgment of the High Court Gauteng Division of 11 December in TS Moyane v President and Others, the minister of finance will assist the president in immediately commencing the process to appoint a new commissioner of Sars,” said the finance minister.
An advertisement for the position was publish over the weekend.
The minister will subsequently submit a shortlist, and the names for members of an interview panel, for the resident’s approval.
After interviews, which are envisaged to be private in nature, the interview panel will recommend a candidate, or candidates, to the president.
