A sensible outcome: SARS’ ruling regarding special trusts
While the provisions in the Income Tax Act 58 of 1962 (ITA) that apply to ordinary trusts are often the subject of disputes in the Tax Court or of binding private rulings issued by the South African Revenue Service (SARS), the same cannot be said for special trusts. We briefly discussed the ITA’s dispensation applicable to special trusts in our Tax and Exchange Control Alert of 18 January 2019 and explained that it may apply in instances where a person is unable to look after their own affairs and where the special trust is then created for the benefit of such person.

What constitutes “special circumstances” in an application to the Supreme Court of Appeal, for special leave to appeal
Section 17(3) read with section 16(1)(b) of the Superior Courts Act 10 of 2013 provides for an application for special leave to appeal to the Supreme Court of Appeal (SCA). According to the SCA, special circumstances may arise if the appeal deals with a substantial point of law, or the matter is of great importance to the parties or the public, or where the prospects of success on appeal are so strong that the refusal to grant leave to appeal would result in a denial of justice for the party seeking leave to appeal.
