Taxpayers issued with penalty assessments are faced with significant challenges in formulating compelling grounds of dispute or remittance. There are several penalty types that may be imposed by SARS and not a one-fit-for-all solution to address these. Understatement penalties may be imposed on categories ranging from substantial understatement, no reasonable grounds for tax position taken, gross negligence, and even intentional tax evasion.
This webinar provides an overview of the challenges around tax penalties imposed by SARS and assisting with formulating compelling arguments, having regard to relevant case law in point and real-life examples, making this a very practical session.
