Can Business Entertainment Expenses Be Claimed Against Tax?
Read more: https://www.dotnews.co.za/Code/Article.aspx?qry=yKPR5eDKNlaukY9Ps7iCg-u1Ae1r9paryn2lXXE7B27pfiqwYuhG0tHgW-oOtt05qe7qOi-2x2aNuYlNxM8sgTXQMcNyqjrltJo-0wzqAjQ=-NOPAD

SARS has strict rules regarding entertainment expenses for both income tax deductions and VAT, and a claim for entertainment expenses will likely be flagged for investigation by SARS. This is why it’s crucial to have a solid understanding of what can and can't be claimed.

We encourage you to rely on our expert oversight before claiming. This is the best way of ensuring your tax position is verified and you have adequate proof that the claims are for legitimate business expenses.

National Wills Month: Do You Have a Business Will?
Read more: https://www.dotnews.co.za/Code/Article.aspx?qry=yKPR5eDKNlaukY9Ps7iCg-yAkmQ60iSADxGDjXiVtLkbxIxFzy6IqPpFbqwGLHbEiNu1dam9YzmJIlQiJKrzSbusI83VQD1eig-r4lvXs1Y=-NOPAD

Most business owners think their personal will has the business covered too, but that's usually not the case.

The term “business will” refers colloquially to a specialised directive, such as a shareholder’s agreement, a buy-and-sell agreement or a succession plan, that gives guidance on what should happen to your business when you (or other partners or shareholders) are no longer there.

Without a regularly updated “business will”, the business you spent decades building can unravel in months.

Everyone Makes Them: Here's How to Recover from a Bad Business Decision
Read more: https://www.dotnews.co.za/Code/Article.aspx?qry=yKPR5eDKNlaukY9Ps7iCg4fZHNwT5_t2mjgVDxiFlzW5bqYH3iV3MJodeJ31myuA0fpE8UZ6lisjGOHKrQ2ThAL30q3pFlXkvZ-0QRT3HNs=-NOPAD

Every business leader, from the corner office to the corner store, has a story they wish they could rewrite. A product launched too early, a hire made too hastily, a pivot that led off a cliff.

Despite this, bad business decisions are not a sign of a bad leader, they are simply a sign that a leader is human. The real measure of a leader is not whether they stumble, but how they recover. Here is what the evidence says you should do when you make a mistake.

The Subscription Trap: SMEs are Losing Thousands to “SaaS Creep”
Read more: https://www.dotnews.co.za/Code/Article.aspx?qry=yKPR5eDKNlaukY9Ps7iCg4fZHNwT5_t2mjgVDxiFlzW5bqYH3iV3MJodeJ31myuA0fpE8UZ6lisjGOHKrQ2ThJdnOHENkH4hEjfNBL1o-GQ=-NOPAD

As cloud-based software delivery has lowered the barrier to adoption, many companies are starting to lose track of the number of software subscriptions they have. This phenomenon is known as “SaaS creep” (SaaS stands for Software as a Service) and research suggests that the problem is considerably larger than most leaders recognise.

The financial consequences are compounding, and, for organisations without formal oversight, almost entirely invisible.
