SARS v PAJA: The saga continues

Beginning most prominently with the original hearing of ABSA Bank Limited v Commissioner, SARS (3) SA 513 (GP) in the High Court (which we previously discussed here ), a taxpayer’s right to approach the High Court to request the administrative review of SARS’ decisions has been a bone of contention between SARS and taxpayers. Although the ABSA case was put to bed by the Constitutional Court earlier this year (it was consolidated with four other cases in United Manganese of Kalahari Proprietary Limited v Commissioner, SARS and Four Other Cases (5) BCLR 530 (CC)), the most recent case to reach the High Court in this saga between SARS and taxpayers came in the form of Kerbyn Cape 2 Proprietary Limited v Commissioner, SARS (15899/2023) ZAWCHC 308.

High Court upholds the tax reality for Kenya’s private equity deal environment

Kenya’s High Court in ECP Kenya Limited v the Kenya Revenue Authority HCCOMMITA/E215/2023 has upheld a decision from the Tax Appeals Tribunal (the TAT) in ECP Kenya Limited v Commissioner of Domestic Taxes (Appeal 335 of 2022) KETAT 969 (KLR) (6 October 2023) (the Judgment), that will reshape discussions around how private equity (PE) funds will structure and exit investments in Kenya.
