No taxation without representation” helped shape history, but could it also shape the future of South African tax law?

As the Constitutional Court considers the legality of the Minister’s power to change VAT rates before parliamentary approval, important questions are being raised about accountability, representation and tax governance.

Paul Gering, Partner at PKF Durban, shares his perspective on a case that could have far-reaching implications for South Africa’s fiscal decision-making.

A single contract can contain multiple performance obligations, different recognition patterns and transaction price allocations that all affect when revenue is recognised.

KC Rottok Chesaina walks through a complete worked example, showing how the five-step model comes together in practice and what SMEs should prepare for before the 1 January 2027 effective date.

A new SARS VAT ruling is providing long-awaited certainty for developers and operators of purpose-built student accommodation.

The ruling confirms when student accommodation qualifies as commercial accommodation for VAT purposes and clarifies the treatment of input tax recovery, taxable rentals and the preferential VAT calculation available for qualifying long-term stays.

For businesses investing in the student housing Sector, understanding these rules could have a significant impact on both compliance and project costs.

Simone Esch, Head of Tax at PKF Cape Town, explores the key takeaways and what they could mean for your business.

Significant changes, both operational and judicial, are reshaping South African tax compliance. SARS is adopting a far more assertive approach to collection, with an increased focus on trust compliance and real-time validation for employer submissions.

But it’s not just operational changes you need to watch out for. Recent Constitutional and Supreme Court decisions are altering legal interpretations around dispute resolution and taxpayer representation.

Whether you are an individual, an employer, or managing a trust, navigating these updates requires careful preparation.

Michelle Hawkins, Senior Tax Specialist at PKF Octagon, breaks down the latest tax developments and how to protect yourself against compliance risks.
