A sensible outcome: SARS’ ruling regarding special trusts

While the provisions in the Income Tax Act 58 of 1962 (ITA) that apply to ordinary trusts are often the subject of disputes in the Tax Court or of binding private rulings issued by the South African Revenue Service (SARS), the same cannot be said for special trusts.

The importance of the increasing prevalence of these cases is well-highlighted in the Report, which references a “ body of legal precedent ” that is “ forming an increasingly well-defined field of law ”. The facts, arguments and findings surrounding the cases will therefore collectively serve as a reference point for local litigants seeking judicial intervention in matters involving climate policy, law or science.
