Product Information

Many clients assume losses can always be used to reduce tax. In practice, SARS often restricts or disallows them.

This session focuses on how assessed losses are treated in real cases. It explains the ring-fencing rules in simple terms, why SARS challenges certain activities, and where accountants commonly go wrong.

The session is practical and risk-focused. Delegates will learn how to apply the rules correctly, manage client expectations, and avoid disputes that arise when losses are denied.
