SA’s High Court rules against the South African Revenue Service

South Africa’s Public Servants Association has achieved a significant legal victory as the High Court in Pretoria ruled against the South African Revenue Service. The court mandated that SARS must implement the 2.3-percent salary increase with retrospective effect from April 1, 2021, in line with a three-year multi-term salary agreement. The ruling stresses the court’s commitment to upholding employment agreements and ensuring fair treatment of public-sector employees. The P-S-A urges SARS to promptly implement the salary increase and refrain from further legal action.
