Current Tax Issues for SMMEs - 2021
Presenters : Prof. Jackie Arendse
Overview
This webinar-workshop will focus on current tax issues that are particularly relevant to the SMME sector. The topics that will be covered in the workshop include income tax, dividends tax, capital gains tax (CGT) and VAT. The workshop will also explain all business phases relevant to SMMEs, from incorporation or starting up, to the ongoing running of a business. Furthermore, some of the tax issues that arise in business rescue situations or final winding up will be discussed.
The webinar-workshop will include a discussion of the tax relief and tax planning opportunities that are available to SMMEs and what common risk areas SMME owners and advisors need to watch out for. The investment in attending this workshop will pay for itself many times over as attendees will not only come away with a wealth of information that can be applied immediately but will also save time and costs that might otherwise be incurred in terms of penalties, interest, and disputes with SARS.
