This discussion is guided by the recent Court of Appeal Case of Kenya Methodist University v Kaungania & another (Civil Appeal 61 of 2017) and the decision by the Employment and Labour Relations Court in Nyeri in Mary Nyangasi Ratemo & 9 others v Kenya Police Staff Sacco Limited & another [2013] eKLR.

Controlled foreign company rules: To outsource or not to outsource?

Over the last few weeks, the South African tax advisory and business community have on various platforms debated the Constitutional Court’s (CC) recent judgment in Coronation Investment Management SA (Pty) Limited v Commissioner for the South African Revenue Service ZACC 11. The CC held that the taxpayer, Coronation Investment Management SA (Pty) Ltd, had a foreign business establishment (FBE) in Ireland despite the Irish business outsourcing some of its functions. As a result, the CC held that the taxpayer was exempt from section 9D of the Income Tax Act 58 of 1962 (ITA), so that the (net) income of its Irish subsidiary, which is a controlled foreign company (CFC) under section 9D, was not subject to tax in South Africa.
