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.

Employee vs Independent Contractor vs TES

The test for determining who is an employee and who is an independent contractor differs with reference to persons who earns above or below the threshold in terms of s6(3) of the Basic Conditions of Employment Act 75 of 1997 (BCEA). An independent contractor, unlike TES employees, is not an employee either of the client or the TES. Independent contractors render services for a fee, whereas a TES provides labour to a client for reward. Ultimately the test is always substance over form and the nature of the agreement is not definitive.

Revised financials and a shotgun approach: Another chapter in an ongoing Tax Court dispute

Earlier this year, in our Tax and Exchange Control Alert of 2 February 2023 , we discussed a Tax Court judgment where the South African Revenue Service (SARS) requested the Tax Court to order that a matter, prior to its hearing, be referred back to SARS in terms of section 129(2)(c) of the Tax Administration Act 28 of 2011 (TAA). This was pursuant to a taxpayer alleging during the alternative dispute resolution (ADR) process that previous financial statements provided were incorrect. The Tax Court declined to grant the order as it held that it was not competent to do so in terms of the section – such an order could only be made pursuant to the hearing of the matter.
