Absent but not off the hook: Tax Court’s jurisdiction to alter assessments confirmed

The Supreme Court of Appeal (SCA) clarified a simple yet crucial principle of Tax Court procedure in the case of Lion Match Company (Pty) Ltd v Commissioner for the South African Revenue Service JDR 3336 (SCA (28 July 2025)): the withdrawal of a taxpayer’s legal representation, even at the last minute, does not equate to the withdrawal of the appeal itself. Most importantly, the SCA has confirmed that section 129(1) of the Tax Administration Act 28 of 2011 (TAA) does not preclude the Tax Court from altering an assessment in the South African Revenue Service’s (SARS) favour, as contemplated in section 129(2) of the TAA, even if the taxpayer is absent when the appeal is heard.
