Overview

Most people knew how and when to object to assessments and decisions by SARS. We did not bore you with time periods, what was subject to objection and appeal, what was the correct form, and so on. In this session, Nico Theron, CTA (SA), focused on key problem areas in the objection and appeal space:

• What to do before launching a dispute.
• What an assessment actually was with reference to a recent SCA judgment in CSARS v Airports Company SA and how it was relevant to objections and appeals.
• How to deal with the onus of proof in practice (pre-litigation).
• What were SARS’ obligations when they answered your objection – could they effectively ignore your objection and force you on appeal?
• Could you raise new grounds on appeal and if so, what new grounds could you raise?
