Pillay and Sars settle

Johannesburg - The dispute between Sars and its deputy commissioner Ivan Pillay has been settled, the CCMA said on Wednesday.

"The CCMA can confirm that the matter between South African Revenue Service (Sars) and Pillay has been settled as a result of a successful CCMA conciliation process," the commission said in a statement.

The CCMA declined to provide further details.

On Friday, Sars said Pillay had been suspended for a second time in two months.

"Sars can confirm that a second notice of suspension was served on Mr Ivan Pillay on Wednesday [January 21]," it said.

Sars said at the time it would not make any further comments about the details of the disciplinary procedures against him.

On December 5, Pillay and Sars's strategic planning and risk group executive Peter Richer were suspended for the first time amid allegations of a special projects unit engaging in illegal activities in Sars.

Also on Friday, the Mail&Guardian reported that Pillay decided to attempt to overturn his suspension via the CCMA. He also applied for compensation for what the labour court found was an unlawful suspension, the newspaper reported.
