For us, ESG is not about ticking boxes for today. It’s about building a firm that is ready for tomorrow.

Our ESG Policy is about turning intention into action, and action into long-term impact. It’s how we ensure that as we grow, we’re doing so in a way that is resilient, responsible, and sustainable for the next generation of professionals.

Because how we do business matters just as much as the business we do.

"What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived. It is what difference we have made to the lives of others." – Nelson Mandela

Tomorrow, we will have the privilege of spending time with Kuyga Township Rescue, giving back to our community in honour of Nelson Mandela Day.

We're grateful for the opportunity to contribute, connect, and continue Madiba's legacy of compassion, service, and hope.

Foreign loans are often viewed as straightforward funding arrangements but the tax implications can quickly become complex.
For many South African businesses funded by foreign holding companies or connected non-resident parties, these transactions may trigger transfer pricing requirements, withholding tax obligations and foreign exchange considerations.

Questions around arm’s length pricing, interest deductibility, WHTI compliance and SARS reporting obligations are often overlooked until problems arise.

And in some cases, the compliance burden may extend even further through Country-by-Country Reporting and transfer pricing documentation requirements.

In this article, Kubashni Moodley, Partner at PKF Durban, unpacks the key tax risks businesses should consider when entering into cross-border loan arrangements.

It’s time to say goodbye to IAS 39.

For many South African SMEs, the "old way" of accounting for loans and investments felt like a comfortable pair of shoes. But come 2027, the third edition of IFRS for SMEs is officially retiring those familiar labels.

What’s changing for your business? The revised Standard moves away from complex, rigid categories and moves toward a principles-based model. Whether it’s your trade receivables, strategic equity, or intercompany loans, the focus is now on the economic substance of the transaction.

The Practical Impact:
• Direct Transparency: Investment fluctuations will now impact your Profit or Loss directly, no more "hiding" value changes in equity.
• Loan Accuracy: Interest-free or below-market loans to staff or subsidiaries will require a "day one" adjustment to reflect their true value.
• Better Comparison: Your financials will be more aligned with modern global standards, making you more attractive to lenders and partners.

Transitioning away from a framework you've used for over a decade can feel daunting. At PKF, we specialise in making the complex clear. We’re here to help you re-examine your loan books and investment portfolios so you can walk into 2027 with total confidence.

Is your finance team still using the "old labels"? Let's start the conversation.
