WEBINAR ON HOW TO DEAL WITH THE P2 PROVISIONAL UNDERSTATEMENT PENALTY
7th September at 8.30 for 120 minutes
The understatement penalty on P2 Provisional Tax is causing much consternation for Tax Practitioners. I am pretty sure you are finding a number of your clients in this situation owing to the following;
1. The taxpayer does not have the cash flow to make the correct payments and underpays.
2. The taxpayer pays the tax a day late owing to some technical difficulty on the internet or because they are away.
3. The taxpayer forgets about a capital gain that he or she earned and it’s not included.
It gives me great pleasure to invite you to a webinar on the 7th September at 8.30 for 120 minutes to introduce you to Costa Divaris South Africa’s leading tax expert who is going to tell us all how we should deal with this situation and the letters we should write to SARS to try and deal with this terribly unfair situation.

ITR12 STATEMENT OF ASSETS AND LIABILITIES 1 hour 12 minutes
In my interaction with many tax practices I have discovered that many people who work in tax departments don’t really understand how the statement of assets and liabilities works and the significance of what it means in the production of ITR12’s. In my view if the statement of assets is not correct or not submitted this could be viewed as a material misrepresentation which could cause the assessment to be open forever. In this webinar we will handle the principles of the capital reconciliation and the rules that force the triggering of the requirement that a statement of assets must be submitted. Interpretation of the living expenses is fundamental in producing the statement of assets. We will be making use of Sky Tax to illustrate exactly how the statement of assets works.
• This webinar is for anyone who wishes to understand the principles of the statement of assets and liabilities and the capital reconciliation.
• Users of Sky Tax will also benefit as we will be showing how the new features of Sky work.
• Users of competitive systems or if you are manual will also benefit from this webinar.
