Product Information

Asset-for-share deals often look clean on paper, but SARS regularly challenges them after the fact. When this happens, clients face unexpected tax, penalties, and long disputes.

This session focuses on asset-for-share transactions in the real tax environment. It explains why SARS scrutinises these deals, where documentation and planning fail, and how misunderstandings around “tax-neutral” treatment create exposure.

The session is practical and cautionary. Delegates will learn how to spot risky structures early, understand the tax conditions that must be met, and know when specialist input is required. The aim is to help accountants protect clients and avoid being blamed when restructures unravel.
