Pravin Gordhan

SARS simplified individual income-tax forms during Gordhan's commissionership, including replacing the much longer 2007 return with a two-sided form and expanding electronic processing. The practical change concerned how people submitted information, rather than the rate of tax they owed. Contemporary professional reporting recorded faster processing for some returns alongside implementation difficulties. Shorter forms helped with routine compliance, but taxpayers with complex affairs still needed advice and supporting records.
