FORMER Prasa CEO Lucky Montana has publicly challenged the SA Revenue Service's (SARS) application to attach his assets, claiming the tax claim against him is unfounded and politically motivated.

The dispute revolves around an R46 million tax assessment SARS sought to recover from Montana. The tax authority's application, filed in the Pretoria High Court, also seeks to declare Montana insolvent. SARS alleges that Montana owes this amount in taxes, penalties, and interest from assessments dating back over a decade.

The case is currently before the court, and the proceedings are expected to shed light on the validity of SARS’ claims.

Montana, the former CEO of the Passenger Rail Agency of SA (Prasa), vehemently denies owing SARS any money.

In a detailed statement issued before yesterday's court hearing, Montana described the case as a “personal attack” aimed at humiliating him.
