3 Introduction Overview General developments; Practical issues; Topics not covered.
4 Overview Interpretation Note No. 91 ( IN91 ); BMW v SARS; Cannon vs SARS; Public Notice: Duty to Keep Records
5 General Developments SVDP can now be submitted at SARS branches in addition to efiling. VAT disputes can now be lodged via efiling. Special VDP at last in legislation. Taxation Laws Amendment Bill (Bill ) and Tax Administration Laws Amendment Bill (B ) have been finalised.
6 Practical Issues In the past SARS send out notifications on assessments indicating the number of the assessment for that year, so the original assessment would have been number one and additional assessments will be 2, 3 or 4. In the past on notifications, the specified what kind of correspondence was issued, objection allowance or disallowance, verification etc., nowadays the notification only states that a letter was issued. VDP01 application form problematic on e-filing.
7 Issue date: 21 October Sections 19 and par. 2A of the 8 th Schedule. Purpose This note provides guidance on the interpretation and application of section 19 and par. 12A which deal with the reduction of debt. The Note does not address section 22 of the VAT Act dealing with irrecoverable debt. Background This new IN deals with scenarios where debt owed has been cancelled or reduced or waived. Different scenarios are dealt with depending on what the debt (cash received) was used to finance in the operations of the company. The general principle is that any previous deductions or allowances deducted from taxable income will be recouped or otherwise recovered to the extent the debt has been reduced.
8 Reduction amount A reduction amount in relation to a debt owed by a person means any amount by which that debt is reduced, less any amount that has been paid already by that debtor to the creditor as consideration for that reduction. The reference to that person in the definition of reduction amount is a reference to the debtor. Time of Reduction For purposes of section 19 and par 12A the time of reduction of the amount of a debt will depend on the facts of each case. A debt will be reduced when the event giving rise to the debt reduction takes place, for example, when a creditor decides not to enforce payment of a debt and informs the debtor accordingly.
9 Sequence of the application of the subsections of section 19 Any reduction amount in respect of trading stock must be applied in accordance with the sequence of the subsections of section 19. Thus, a debt that funded the acquisition of trading stock and which is partially reduced must first be allocated to trading stock that is held and not disposed of at the time of the debt reduction under section 19(3). Any remaining balance of the debt reduction must then be dealt with as a recoupment under section 19(4) or (5). Section 19(2) This subsection is the starting point and gives the scope of section 19. Section 19(3) This subsection tells us a debt that was used to finance trading stock that is still on hand at time of reduction we have to reduce the future cost of sale with the reduction amount.
10 Section 19(4) This subsection tells us a debt that funded expenditure that was incurred in respect of trading stock that is held and not disposed of at the time of the reduction of the debt. Section 19(4) provides that if the reduction amount of the debt exceeds the amount applied under section 19(3) to reduce the section 11(a), section 22(1) and section 22(2) amounts as appropriate, then the excess amount must, for the purposes of section 8(4)(a), be deemed to be an amount that has been recovered or recouped in the tax year.

24 Donations Tax Section 19(8)(b) and par. 12A(6)(b) do not require that the reduction amount of the debt be subject to donations tax. While a debt may be reduced by a donation as in section 55(1) and 58, the exclusions in section 19(8)(b) and paragraph 12A(6)(b) will apply even when the donation is exempt from donations tax under section 56. Not every reduction of a debt is motivated by pure liberality or disinterested benevolence. Only the reduction of a debt motivated by pure liberality or disinterested benevolence will be a debt reduced by way of a donation as defined in section 55(1).

28 Reduction in expenditure incurred under paragraph 20(1)(a) to (g) (paragraph 20(3)(b)) Double taxation could arise should both section 19 and par. 20(3)(b) apply to a reduction of debt. In this regard paragraph 20(3)(b) shall not apply to the extent that the amount was taken into account as a recoupment under section 8(4)(a) (it would have if section 19(4) or 19(6) applied); or the amount was applied to reduce an amount taken into account in respect of trading stock under section 19 (it would have if section 19(3) applied). This exclusion, therefore, ensures that the base cost of an asset must not be reduced under paragraph 20(3)(b) if section 19 has been applied to reduce an amount taken into account in respect of trading stock.
29 Summary Section 19 and par. 12A contain ordering rules for dealing with debt reduction and replace the previous rules that were contained in section 8(4)(m), the proviso to section 20(1)(a) and paragraph 12(5). The new ordering rules apply to trading stock, other deductible expenditure, allowance assets and capital assets financed by debt that is subsequently reduced. Briefly the rules provide as follows upon a reduction of such debt: Trading stock held and not disposed of Any section 11(a) deduction or the value of opening stock under section 22(2) as well as any closing stock under section 22(1) is reduced by the reduction amount of a debt under section 19(3). Any excess reduction amount is treated under section 19(4) as a recoupment for the purposes of section 8(4)(a). Trading stock not held and not disposed of at the time of the reduction of the debt and other deductible expenditure excluding allowance assets The reduction amount of a debt is deemed to be a recoupment under section 19(5) for the purposes of section 8(4)(a) to the extent that the expenditure that was funded by the debt was allowed as a deduction.
30 Summary (cont.) Allowance assets The reduction amount of a debt first reduces any base cost expenditure under paragraph 12A(3) after which any excess is deemed to be a recoupment under section 19(6) for the purposes of section 8(4)(a). Future capital allowances will be limited to the cost of the asset less the reduction amount and any previous allowances claimed on the asset, under section 19(7). Capital assets that are not allowance assets The base cost of the asset is reduced by the reduction amount of the debt under paragraph 12A(3). Any excess reduction amount reduces an assessed capital loss under paragraph 12A(4). The ordering rules do not apply to tax debt or debt that has been reduced by donation, bequest or by an employer (section 19(8) and paragraph 12A(6)(a), (b) and (c)).
31 BMW V CSARS Judgment date: 21 October Issue in dispute: Whether the Applicant was entitled to interest on the amount of penalties and interest paid by it under protest. Parties: Applicant: BMW South Africa The Respondent: Commissioner for the South Africa Revenue Services. Facts: Respondent had found that Applicant had not paid the value-added tax payable for the period October 2011 to February 2012 and therefore levied penalties and interest due. Applicant had made payment, which had not been properly allocated by the Respondent. Nevertheless, and despite proof of payment given to the Respondent by the Applicant, the Respondent continued to levy penalties and interest, and compelled payment thereof. Applicant did request suspension of payment, which request was not successful.
32 BMW V CSARS The Commissioner s finding of non-payment was corrected and the costs issue was dealt with, however repayment of the penalties and interest was still to be resolved. Applicant: Referred to Shuttleworth v South African Reserve Bank et al 2015 (1) SA 586 (SCA) and the Tax Administration Act of Said that they were entitled to interest on the amount of penalties and interest paid by it under protest. Respondent Referred to Commissioner for Inland Revenue v First National Industrial Bank Ltd. Said that no mora interest was payable on the amount relating to the penalties and interest.
33 BMW V CSARS Court found that the Shuttleworth judgment and the TAA were applicable. Applicant therefore entitled to interest on the amount paid in respect of penalties and interest levied by the Respondent. Respondent was ordered to pay back the provisional payment made to it by the Applicant, with interest a tempore morae.
