South African fiscal legislation

Warning on the tax Acts

Never consult earlier versions of South African fiscal legislation without checking forward in time to look for retroactive amendments. Effective dates are supplied in this work only for amendments made in the edition year and earlier amendments not yet effective at the time of first publication of the edition. For the effective dates of earlier amendments, consult earlier editions. The effective dates of amendments follow no uniform pattern, are hugely varied, and sometimes are inaccessible to rational explanation. Moreover, they do not appear in the principal statutes themselves but are hidden in obscure amending acts.

Acts and regulations

In the Bsp Seminars® ‘value-added’ style

Presented as PDF files and delivered by way of an e-mailed link or an e-mail attachment. ‘2019’ or ‘2018’ indicates inclusion of legislation bearing that date whenever actually promulgated. All prices inclusive of Vat at 15%. In the Bsp Seminars® ‘value-added’ style. The 2019 editions include all the amendments made by all the acts dated 2019, all of which appeared in 2020.

Each publication includes a contents index, an index to sections and subsections, an index to definitions, a record of amendments, an annotation to each amendment made since 2003 (or, in some instances, earlier) but before the current edition year, while amendments effected in the current edition year are fully annotated in detail, and include the previous wording and the relevant extract from the appropriate Explanatory Memorandum or Memorandum.

The law itself is presented in a ‘value-added’ style, making these renditions far more accessible than the raw originals but without losing the authenticity of the original text and structure. The unique presentation helps you not only find your way about but understand basic statutory principles. The style includes running descriptive page headings, left-hand and right-hand place markers, and a consistently structured system of hierarchical headings, following the six-level indentations adopted in South African statutes.

Once you have used the superb Bsp Seminars® renditions of statutes, you’ll wish all laws were presented this way.

Offshore and the Income Tax Act

—Investing, financing, borrowing, expanding, relocating

Our world-wide taxation of SA residents is hugely complex, and potentially punishing on those relocating

In the Bsp Seminars® ‘Book’ format. World-wide taxation under the Income Tax Act is triggered by the concept of 'residence', in itself a poorly explained and understood concept, which applies to individuals, companies and trusts. Special rules apply to different revenue-streams, such as remuneration, interest and dividends, and the earnings of and distributions from offshore trusts. Outgoing income-streams are taxed by withholding taxes, which are themselves constrained by tax treaties. 'Net-of-tax' arrangements are not always properly understood. 'Source' rules apply to residents and nonresidents equally. Nonresidents working here are not always properly informed, or taxed. Complex anti-avoidance provisions complicate offshore borrowings and supposedly govern international transfer pricing. The capital gains tax has its own peculiar method of distinguishing between residents and nonresidents. Many

companies operating offshore in fact suffer dual fiscal residence, not always to the knowledge of their shareholders, while the most complex provision, ever, governs genuinely offshore companies with SA ties. And the income tax, capital gains tax and dividends tax all impose an exit tax upon a change of residence, a concept even more misunderstood than residence itself. It is doubtful whether this complex branch of the tax law enjoys the attention to detail it deserves, especially at its pivotal point - a change of residence. The issue of externalizing a business is massively, and dangerously, oversimplified. And those making offshore investments are seldom fully advised on the tax consequences.

Principles and Practice of Tax Avoidance

—All the anti-avoidance provisions of all the tax Acts

Our rules-based tax system has gone berserk, and now includes a great many provisions most of us are unaware of, much less

understand

In the Bsp Seminars® ‘Book’ format. A huge part of our tax law, principally, the Income Tax Act, is increasingly taken up with poorly drafted, frequently amended, arcane anti-avoidance provisions, requiring hours of study just to puzzle out exactly what is the ‘mischief against which they are aimed’. Unless you know how to judge such provisions, you are vulnerable to irrational attacks by SARS, seeking ‘production’ at all costs, without any understanding whatsoever how such provisions are to be interpreted and applied.

Reflections on a Specimen Trust Deed

What a well-drafted deed looks like

The purpose of this work is not only to encourage a higher standard of drafting of trust deeds but to assist those using or dealing with trusts to identify which trusts and which clauses of a deed are valid, to carry out a proper due-diligence examination of a trust and its affairs, to ensure due process in all transactions involving a trust, and, above all, to identify the true owner of what is presented as trust property. In the main, its design juxtaposes well-drafted clauses

Trusts: SA Statute & Common Law

Sources for drawing and advising on trusts

A fresh look at the Trust Property Control Act and the reported cases on trusts

In the Bsp Seminars® ‘Book’ format. Let's face facts. The trust deed in your protocol is a bust. The deeds your clients want are sheer (usually male) fantasies. The last time you or your client actually read the deed was..., well, when was it, ever, never? You hardly know a trustee worthy of the name. If you yourself are a trustee, good luck! Counterparties dealing with your clients' trusts are mad in the head. If the average beneficiary discovered the truth about her rights, all hell would break loose. If you are dealing with the trust according to its merits, it's a pure coincidence. And, if the Master is interfering, he probably shouldn't be. The upside is...you perhaps could make a fortune fixing up your clients' trusts. Order details: Launch edition (2019). Ver 2. 624 pages. 4,133 kb. Order no: nb1903. R2,020.
