10 March 2026 – In this issue we provide guidance on tax practitioner deregistration procedures and dispute reviews under the Tax Administration Act, alongside important updates to the Income Tax Act, including revised tables of interest rates on taxes and refunds, and resources such as Interpretation Note 143 for political party income tax exemption and the Turnover Tax Guide for micro businesses. We also highlight key announcements from the 2026 Budget Speech, which introduce significant tax relief for small and micro businesses, notably the increase in the compulsory VAT registration threshold and the turnover tax qualifying threshold from R1 million to R2.3 million, aimed at reducing compliance burdens, supporting business growth, and simplifying tax administration.
