Bonang Matheba faces tax troubles<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Bonang Matheba, a well-known figure in South Africa’s media and entrepreneurial sectors, is reportedly facing demands from the South African Revenue Service (SARS) regarding an alleged tax liability of R7 million.<\/p>\n

This news has emerged as Matheba is gearing up to launch a new product from her sparkling wine label, House of BNG.<\/p>\n

Recently, she introduced the House of BNG Mimosa, a ready-to-drink sparkling cocktail featuring a citrus flavor, packaged in 250ml cans containing 4.5% alcohol.<\/p>\n

The official launch is set to occur at a grand event named Retreat At The #HouseOfBNG, planned for the vineyards in Franschhoek, Cape Town.<\/p>\n

However, according to information from Sunday Times\/TimesLIVE, this stylish event occurs against a backdrop of increasing tax issues.<\/p>\n

Reports indicate that SARS sent Matheba a final notice regarding the debt on February 17, allowing her a span of 10 business days to resolve the matter or to negotiate a payment plan.<\/p>\n

If she does not settle the debt, SARS may take further action through the legal system.<\/p>\n

This could involve acquiring a civil judgment and a writ of execution, which permits law enforcement to seize and sell assets in order to recover the unpaid tax.<\/p>\n

Sources referenced in the report suggest that the notice results from Matheba\u2019s alleged neglect to file her personal income tax returns for the 2025 fiscal year, leading to SARS initiating recovery actions.<\/p>\n

Matheba\u2019s public relations representative chose not to provide any remarks on the subject, citing that discussions about taxes between individuals and SARS are confidential.<\/p>\n

A spokesperson from SARS also did not comment on the specifics of this case, referring to legal confidentiality considerations.<\/p>\n

This situation arises as SARS intensifies its scrutiny of influencers and other public figures who generate income through endorsements and online ventures.<\/p>\n

They have consistently highlighted the importance of declaring all income sources, including those from social media channels.<\/p>\n
