Taxation Seminars
What we do
The Business School's Tax Centre aims to demystify the SA tax minefield. The complexity, sophistication and sheer volume of tax legislation, case law and practice has increased exponentially over the last decade or so, and most taxpayers are not even sure what they need to be aware of. We offer a series of generic public seminars on various topics, as well as bespoke client-specific training sessions.
Some of the Tax general seminars are:
Dividends Tax and Corporate Distributions
An explanation of SA's new Dividends Tax system as well as a review of some of the other issues relates to corporate distributions, like the dividend definition, the concept of "contributed tax capital" and the treatment of returns of capital.
Tax Administration
Unpacking the new Tax Administration Act/Bill.
International operations
The tax implications of cross-border activities, including double tax agreements, withholding taxes, residence, foreign currency conversion, foreign tax credits, controlled foreign companies, headquarter companies, transfer pricing, and more.
