The webinar brought together a panel of specialists to unpack KRA’s recent notice on the validation of income and expenses in income-tax returns.

25 Nov 2025 1:09:52 Minutes Webinar

The webinar brought together a panel of specialists to unpack KRA’s recent notice on the validation of income and expenses in income-tax returns. The panelists walked through what this new approach meant in practice, especially the shift toward relying on eTIMS data to confirm both income and deductible expenses. They explained how mismatches between what taxpayers filed and what appeared in eTIMS, withholding records, or customs data could result in expenses being disallowed and income being verified, potentially triggering audits from KRA.

The panelists also shared practical next steps for businesses ahead of the 2026 implementation.

Reflections on the Public Procurement Act ahead of the Constitutional Court challenge to its validity

It has been more than a year since the Public Procurement Act 28 of 2024 (Act) was passed by Parliament (16 May 2024) and almost a year since it received the assent of the President (18 July 2024). However, it has not yet come into operation as the President has not proclaimed a commencement date. Recently, the City of Cape Town applied to the Constitutional Court to declare the manner in which the Act was adopted as being inconsistent with the Constitution and as such, invalid. This article does not get into that application, but the application has made the Act newsworthy again. Riding the wave, we take a brief moment to look at the dispute resolution provisions under the Act – specifically how information disclosure could have an impact on judicial review proceedings.
