TAX MATTERS – Let’s Talk Tax: A boost for foreigners investing in South African companies

In this episode of our podcast series held in collaboration with Juta, our tax experts – Rone la Grange, Robyn Berger and Marvin Peterson –  discuss the principle of tax-free returns on equity invested in South African companies, known as ‘contributed tax capital’. They discover how anti-avoidance legislation aimed at curbing certain transactions affecting ‘contributed tax capital’ has raised concerns over its broad impact on legitimate deals, and explore Treasury’s pledge to reassess the legislation and its implications.
