PRETORIA, 30 January 2018 – The South African Revenue Service (SARS) wishes to announce the resignation of Mr Jed Michaletos as Chief Officer:  Customs and Excise.

Mr Michaletos resigned in December 2017 after being with SARS for two years. His last day at SARS will  be 7 February 2018.

Making the announcement SARS Commissioner Tom Moyane said: “I would like to thank Jed for the good work he has done at SARS during his tenure. I wish him well in his future endeavours and have no doubt that he will add tremendous value in his future ventures.

“Although his resignation is regrettable, I would like to assure all South Africans and taxpayers that SARS has a leadership bench strong enough to take over from within. As a result, I have appointed Mr Teboho Mokoena who until recently held the position of Chief Officer: Human Capital & Development as the new Chief Officer Customs and Excise.

“Once again, SARS wishes to thank Mr Michaletos for the valuable contribution he has made,” Commissioner Moyane said.
