SARS Gives PSL Club Boss’ Law Firm 10 Days, Warns Sheriff Could Seize Assets

• A SARS final demand has placed a business linked to a prominent PSL club owner under scrutiny
• The alleged tax debt involves PAYE and other statutory obligations worth more than R862,000
• The revenue collector's warning outlines a serious next step if the matter remains unresolved

The South African Revenue Service (SARS) has warned that a sheriff could seize and sell assets linked to a PSL club boss as it seeks to recover an alleged R862,678.48 tax debt. The businessman at the centre of the matter is TS Galaxy owner Tim Sukazi, whose law firm received a final letter of demand.

The tax matter involves Tim Sukazi Incorporated and not TS Galaxy Football Club. However, Sukazi's profile in South African football has drawn attention to the reported SARS action.

"I am prohibited by law from divulging confidential taxpayer information, so SARS will not be commenting on your questions."

Tim Sukazi's response to SARS demand remains unclear

The publication said detailed questions were sent to Sukazi about the alleged debt, the status of the matter and possible execution proceedings. He had not responded by the time of publication on 6 July 2026.

It remains unclear whether Sukazi disputes the tax assessment, has made payment arrangements with SARS or whether the alleged debt has since been settled.

TS Galaxy is not cited as a respondent in the reported proceedings. Tim Sukazi, an attorney, founded the Rockets in 2015 before building the club into a Premiership franchise.

As of 6 July 2026, the reported final demand leaves the status of the alleged debt unresolved, with Tim Sukazi Incorporated's response still unclear.
