SARS OUTSOURCES DISPATCH FUNCTION

THE South African Revenue Service announced on Friday that it is to outsource its entire dispatch function to Paragon Business Forms in an initial contract worth approximately R60-million over two years. The contract, which also includes warehousing and distribution, will see the SARS phase out its inhouse computerised forms operations early this year. Paragon’s major shareholder is Lungisa Investment Holdings, headed by Don Ncube, who is also chairman of Paragon.
