Know your grounds: Why SARS must explain assessments

A taxpayer’s ability to challenge an assessment issued by the South African Revenue Service (SARS) stems from the fundamental rights to just administrative action and access to courts. These rights are protected and enforced through the provisions of the Tax Administration Act 28 of 2011 (TAA), which provide a structured framework for objections and appeals. A key component of this framework is Rule 6 of the rules promulgated under section 103 of the TAA, which empowers taxpayers to request reasons for an assessment prior to lodging an objection.

A quick guide to B-BBEE ownership transactions in South Africa

The element of ownership is regarded as one of the most important elements of the broad-based black economic empowerment (B-BBEE) scorecard, as set out in the Codes of Good Practice issued in terms of the Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment Act, No. 53 of 2003 (Codes). The ownership element is a key driver of a company’s B-BBEE level and, in some cases, a mandatory requirement for certain sectors of the economy, which are governed by bespoke sector charters (such as in the mining industry) that prescribe minimum ownership thresholds. It is also often a critical consideration in contracting, particularly in public procurement processes.

Labour Appeal Court confirms enforceability of restraints following dismissal

In our alert titled “ Does the dismissal of an employee affect a restraint of trade? ” dated 7 April 2025, we considered the Labour Court’s decision in Backsports (Pty) Ltd v Motlhanke and Another ZALCJHB 68 (18 February 2025). In that judgment, the court held that a restraint of trade could not be enforced where an employee was dismissed for misconduct. In effect, the Labour Court found that dismissal resulted in the former employer forfeiting the right to enforce the restraint of trade.

Hallucination Complications

As artificial intelligence (AI) tools become increasingly embedded in legal practice, South African legal practitioners (and potentially their insurers) face a new risk, challenging traditional professional liability and insurance coverage.
