Tax exceptionalism in circumstance

Love it or hate it, tax exceptionalism (the idea that, due to its specialised nature, tax law operates within its own parameters) tends to arise when tax disputes cross the boundary between tax law and other areas of the legal landscape. The (now) not so recent amendment to section 105 of the Tax Administration Act 28 of 2011 (TAA) is an example of this as it tries to restrict tax disputes to specialised forums such as the Tax Court. In particular, the crossover between this section and administrative law is a circumstance where tax exceptionalism can become contentious, as it did again in the case of Trustees of the CC Share Trust and Others v Commissioner, SARS (38211/21) ZAGPPHC 597 (24 July 2023) ( CC Share Trust ).

Closing a targeted scheme abusing the tax implications inherent to contributed tax capital

The “ contributed tax capital ” (CTC) of a company is a notional tax concept that denotes an amount derived from the value of any contribution (typically a subscription price) made to a company as consideration for the issue of a specific class of shares. CTC is reduced by any part that is allocated by the company in a subsequent transfer to one or more shareholders if the board specifically resolves that a distribution will give rise to a reduction of CTC.
