Competition and pricing algorithms: Can your machines violate competition law without you knowing?

In his acceptance speech for the Nobel Prize for peace in 1921, Christian Lange said that “ technology is a useful servant but a dangerous master ”.

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.

Shifting tides: Rethinking non-compete clauses in employment contracts

Non-compete clauses are provisions in employment contracts that restrict an employee from engaging in certain competitive activities after the employment relationship ends within a specific time frame and geographical area. Employers often use them to safeguard their business interests. They aim to prevent former employees from leveraging their knowledge and relationships to benefit competitors while also respecting the employee’s right to seek future employment. This balance is crucial, ensuring that the clauses protect the employer’s interests without unreasonably restricting the employee’s career prospects.
