Controlled foreign company rules: To outsource or not to outsource?

Over the last few weeks, the South African tax advisory and business community have on various platforms debated the Constitutional Court’s (CC) recent judgment in Coronation Investment Management SA (Pty) Limited v Commissioner for the South African Revenue Service ZACC 11. The CC held that the taxpayer, Coronation Investment Management SA (Pty) Ltd, had a foreign business establishment (FBE) in Ireland despite the Irish business outsourcing some of its functions. As a result, the CC held that the taxpayer was exempt from section 9D of the Income Tax Act 58 of 1962 (ITA), so that the (net) income of its Irish subsidiary, which is a controlled foreign company (CFC) under section 9D, was not subject to tax in South Africa.

Update: Union representation in litigation disputes

Over the years, the question of whether an aggrieved employee may be represented in litigation proceedings by any trade union has been the subject of some uncertainty. That was until 2022, when the question was considered by the Labour Appeal Court (LAC) in NUMSA & Others v Afgri Animal Feeds (Ltd) (2022) 43 ILJ 1998 (LAC) where the LAC found that employees have the right to be represented by a trade union of their choice in litigation proceedings, regardless of whether the trade union’s constitution covers the industry in which the employees are employed. However, for collective bargaining rights, a trade union cannot bargain collectively with the employer in an industry outside of its scope (as the court saw this as a separate issue).
