Relevance to Auditors, Independent Reviewers & Accountants:

  • There are various types of tax legislation (e.g. income tax, VAT, SDL, UIF, excise duties, etc.) that your clients must comply with, and which you must assess compliance with.  If they don’t comply with the relevant laws and regulations, you have certain reporting obligations in terms of NOCLAR (Non-Compliance with Laws And Regulations) – this could include reporting to management, qualifying your audit opinion, reporting a Reportable Irregularity, etc.

  • As an auditor, independent reviewer, accountant and tax practitioner, you need to be aware of the latest guides and other publications issued by SARS.

  • Tax practitioners play a critical role in bridging the gap between taxpayers and SARS. As legislation, regulations and tax law are continuously changing and evolving, it is of utmost importance for companies and tax practitioners to keep abreast of such changes in so that companies continue to meet their tax obligations.

Relevance to Your Clients:

  • Entities and individuals have a duty to comply with the Income Tax Act.
