Authentication of documents: Back to basics

Have you ever had to sign or legalise documents within South Africa for use abroad, or vice versa? If you have, then you have no doubt experienced the frustration of having same signed or executed only to find out later that the documents are not legally valid for use in the relevant country. We live in an era where many South Africans emigrate or conduct business abroad and the necessity for the correct authentication, legalisation or apostille of documents becomes imperative to avoid any delays.

Securities lending arrangements: The VAT implications

The South African Revenue Service (SARS) published Binding General Ruling 62 (BGR 62) on 12 December 2022, in which it sets out its interpretation and application of the Value-Added Tax Act 89 of 1991 (VAT Act) for the lender in terms of a securities lending arrangement. BGR 62 comes into effect on 1 April 2023. The value added tax (VAT) implications of a securities lending fee as set out in BGR 62 are contrary to the VAT implications as previously set out in Practice Note 5/1999, which will be withdrawn from 1 April 2023. It is, however, arguable as to whether the interpretation and application of the VAT Act as set out in BGR 62 are correct.
