Grounds for allowing a tax deduction for employee share incentives / Herman van DykVan Dyk, Herman January 2015 (has links)
Share-based payments have become a popular form of employee remuneration, largely for its potential to address the agency problem and are especially effective when made to senior employees. Accounting standards require companies to report share-based payments made to employees as expenses in their financial statements, but extant South African tax legislation does not permit a deduction where shares are awarded to serve as incentives for senior employees. This is due to the fact that the courts do not view the issue of a company‟s own shares as “expenditure”. South African tax legislation presently contains a special tax deduction for shares awarded to employees, but this provision‟s low monetary limit and restrictive requirements are considered to be inadequate, where the intention is to provide adequate incentives to senior employees in order to address the agency problem.
The objective of this study is to evaluate whether sufficient grounds exist, based on the principles of sound tax policy, for the legislature to enact a special tax deduction for share-based payments, which would serve as an adequate incentive to senior employees. The evaluation found that the current tax position infringes upon several principles of sound tax policy and that an intervention by the legislature is required. / MCom (South African and International Tax), North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2015

The nature of interest-free loans and the tax implications thereof / T. TennantTennant, Tracy January 2010 (has links)
The tax world as we knew it was turned upside down on 13 September 2007 when the Supreme
Court of Appeal (“SCA”) announced its decision to deem the right to use an interest-free loan as
an amount that accrued to the taxpayers in the case Commissioner for South African Revenue
Service v Brummeria Renaissance (Pty) Ltd and others 69 SATC 205. The findings of SCA
brought about a “great deal of consternation in the business world” (Loubser, 2007:20).
Due to the controversy as a result of this case, SARS drafted an Interpretation Note that
illustrates the reasoning and tax treatment of an interest-free loan. On 30 June 2010,
Interpretation Note No 58 was finally issued by SARS, providing guidance with regard to “an
amount” that “accrues” to a taxpayer for the purposes of the gross income definition.
This Interpretation Note will have a significant impact on a number of taxpayers. The purpose of
this study is to understand the nature of an interest-free loan and identify its tax implications. The
methodology followed in this study will be that of qualitative research. This will be conducted
through analyzing the nature of a loan, specifically an interest-free loan, the gross income
definition, including the value and timing of such amount, and whether a deduction may be
claimed in respect of an interest-free loan. Notwithstanding the above, the study also includes an
investigation of other taxes inter alia capital gains tax, donations tax, value-added tax, secondary
tax on companies and newly proposed dividends tax. / Thesis (M.Com. (Tax))--North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2011.
