# The South African Revenue Service has asked National Treasury for 7.6-billion-rand for the next three years. This is on top of the additional 3.5-billion-rand it received for the current financial year. SARS’ chief financial officer, Schalk Human, told Parliament’s standing committee of Finance that the 7-6-billion-rand is to address the shortfall in its base allocation, collect all outstanding money owed to SARS sustainably, and improve the service’s modernisation. The revenue service is in discussions with Treasury about its funding model, as it’s about 30-percent underfunded.
