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 ).
