Important Alert: SARS Changes to CPD Requirements and Record-keeping
- 01 June 2022
- Tax Administration
- The Tax Faculty
SARS issued a notice to registered controlling bodies (RCBs) announcing the change to the CPD requirements applicable to registered tax practitioners. The new requirement is a minimum of 18 verifiable CPD hours per year.
Effective 1 June 2022, SARS registered tax practitioners are required to comply with the minimum of 18 verifiable CPD hours annually as follows:
- Ten tax hours.
- Two ethics hours.
- Six hours relating to the service provided by the practitioner (e.g. accounting, auditing, payroll, business advisory, etc.)
The relevant CPD hours will be pro-rated for the year 2022 as follows:
SARS tax practitioners registered prior to 1 June 2022
The current requirement of 15 hours of mandatory CPD will be apportioned for five months (i.e. 1 January 2022 to 31 May 2022), and the new 18 hours of CPD will be apportioned for the remaining seven months of 2022 (i.e. 1 June 2022 and 31 December 2022), and must be split between tax, ethics, and ‘other’).
SARS tax practitioners registered on or after 1 June 2022
CPD will be apportioned based on the date on which the tax practitioner registered and the 18 hours of CPD will apply.
