At it again: Capital v revenue

The capital versus revenue debate is as old as tax law itself. The benefits, advantages or consequences of an amount being considered capital or revenue in nature has motivated taxpayers and the South African Revenue Service (SARS) alike to characterise amounts as one or the other. More often than not, the task of distinguishing between the two has fallen to the courts, as it did once again in the case of A Taxpayer v Commissioner for the South African Revenue Service (IT45638) ZATC 13, where judgment was handed down on 19 July 2023 ( IT 45638 ).

Political parties’ involvement in workplace affairs

It has become a common feature in South Africa for political parties to want to become embroiled in workplace issues. This initially gained prominence with the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF,) a well-known opposition national political party. The Labour Court has, however, already taken a strong stance against the EFF in two reported judgments: Calgan Lounge v EFF and Others 40 ILJ 342 (LC) a matter in which Cliffe Dekker Hofmeyr (CDH) represented Calgan Lounge in 2018, and Gordon Road Spar v The Economic Freedom Fighters and Others 42 ILJ 1953 (LC) which was subsequently overturned by the Labour Appeal Court (LAC) in 2023 for technical legal considerations. We reported on these judgments in our 12 November 2018 , 4 October 2021 and 24 January 2022 Employment Law Alerts. The Gordon Road Spar judgment, however, needs to be heeded by employers who are faced with a similar dilemma and who intend to engage the assistance of thecourt.

Business rescue is not simply for the asking

The debate as to whether business rescue or liquidation is appropriate for a company in financial distress ultimately comes down to which process is likely to yield a higher return for creditors and/or stakeholders. We often hear of failed business rescue proceedings where the company ends up being liquidated, but it is seldom the case that liquidation proceedings are converted to a business rescue.

Overview of the (r)evolution of legislation governing the use of cannabis: Where to from here?

Cannabis has been a hot topic in the media and bold statements have been made by the Government regarding the economic potential that the cannabis sector can unlock in the country. President Cyril Ramaphosa has referred to the potential revenue that could be created in the sector on two separate occasions during his annual State of the Nation Address. It has also been highlighted that industrial hemp and cannabis will create a pathway to industrialisation by having a ripple effect through to various other sectors such as foreign investment, agriculture, employment and construction. Although the Government’s stated intention to relax and review policies that hinder the growth of the industry is appreciated, South Africa is at a crossroads when it comes to competing with international cannabis industries developed within a regulatory framework.
