I am a tax consultant and specialise in income tax, employee tax, expatriate tax and capital gains tax. I assist various companies, individuals and accounting firms with their tax queries.
The normal tax queries that I attend to are:
- the amount of capital gains tax payable on selling a fixed property in South Africa
- the deductibility of various expenses
- their possible tax liability in South Africa for foreigners (immigrants, etc) and South Africans working abroad (the 91-day rule and the 915-day rule)
- the effect of the double tax agreement between South Africa and the country of origin of foreigners
- income tax in South Africa (and the submission of income tax returns)
- employees tax (independent contractors, etc)
- tax compliance by individuals and companies
- advice on trusts and estate planning
- advice on various tax issues regarding property
- assistance with tax clearances and tax directives
I am now working on my own and was previously in PricewaterhouseCoopers Tax Division. I joined them after completing my accounting articles and was with them for almost 4 years. I am also a qualified attorney and did my legal articles with Visagie Vos & Partners in Cape Town.
The purpose of this blog will be to interact with the public on tax issues and to provide advice. I would like to invite the public to raise questions and share ideas that could be to the benefit of all!
