Modern technology has increased the speed and accuracy with which SARS can identify and tax local and international transactions, making it crucial for commercial legal practitioners to have basic knowledge of tax to advise their clients properly.
This webinar series focuses on the practical consequences of commercial and property transactions as well as tax dispute resolution.
Note: The webinars in this series can be taken together, separately and in any order.
The first webinar is aimed at providing legal practitioners with the technical skills needed to recognise the tax consequences of the matters you'll deal with most frequently in your practice.
- Taxation of trusts – including aspects relating to foreign trusts
- Mergers and acquisitions – a field with its own specialised taxation rules
- Share transactions – a common alternative to traditional sale of business transactions (and don’t forget the securities transfer tax!)
- Partnerships – how are they taxed and what happens when they are dissolved?
- Property transfers – including transfer duty and how to avoid it
The second webinar will focus on how to manage disputes with SARS. You'll walk away with a deeper understanding of the processes involved and pitfalls to watch out for.
