Don’t go banking on review

The ability to review our revenue service’s decisions in the High Court is a question that has plagued South Africa’s legal system since the amendment of section 105 of the Tax Administration Act 28 of 2011 (TAA).

The route from A to DD: A roadmap for a successful due diligence

The value of a thorough due diligence process in any merger/acquisition transaction cannot be overstated.
