The corporate tax rollover relief provisions enable the tax neutral transfer of assets to companies and defer the potential tax liability. A transaction needs to have certain characteristics for the relief to apply. Over the course of two sessions, the presenters will explore the nuances of each type of transaction that qualify for tax rollover relief. In the first session, the following transactions will be discussed in detail: The acquisition by a company of assets in return for the issue of shares (“asset-for-share transactions”). Transactions within the same South African group of companies (“intra-group transactions”). Commercial themes, particular to each type of transaction, will be blended with the tax technical analysis.

This series of videos explores the tax aspects of company formations, considering the various tax provisions that should be considered. The series consists of 6 videos: Introduction Outlines some of the the general tax aspects when setting up a company and when selling a going concern to a company as well as an overview of the corporate rules set out in Part III of the Income Tax Act. Part 1 Setting up a company: aspects of shareholder financing. Selling a going concern to a company: general tax issues. Asset for share transactions: explains the general tax rules that will apply in the absence of the corporate rules, including section 40CA; and then the application and effect of the section 42 rollover relief. Part 2 This video explains the effect of applying the section 42 Roll-over relief, with an illustrative example. Part 3 Further explores the effects of applying section 42, considering what happens when the assets are sold for a combination of shares and cash, as well as the clawback provisions in section 42. Part 4 Looks at other considerations, in this case, the tax adjustments that must be made under section 24BA when there is a value mismatch. Part 5 Other issues to consider, in this case the deductibility of interest on a loan raised to fund the acquisition of shares, and the circumstances in which section 24O might apply.
