“Tax proposals to assist business rescue regime and other relevant corporate tax issues"

UCT Graduate School of Business in association with Mazars and Cliffe Dekker Hofmeyr is proud to present:

Di Seccombe, National Head of Tax training and Presentations with Mazars

who will address us on:

“Tax proposals to assist business rescue regime and other relevant corporate tax issues"

The head of SARS, Oupa Magashule, has acknowledged before Parliament's standing committee on finance that the low level of tax compliance by companies is "less than satisfactory”.
The newly promulgated Tax Administration Act includes provisions whereby financial managers and shareholders may be held liable for the tax debts of a company and greatly increases the ability SARS has to access information in respect of a company, its employees and shareholders.
Companies battling to stay afloat and entering into a business rescue plan find themselves penalised from a tax perspective.
Join us for a discussion that will focus on the above issues, and the highly anticipated proposals set out in the Taxation Laws Amendment Bill 2012 aimed at reducing the negative tax consequences of the reduction of debt for less than its full value to assist taxpayers entering into a business rescue.
