Having debt written off or reduced can bring relief, but it may also come with important tax consequences that many taxpayers overlook.

In this article, Dr. Candice Reynders explains how the concession or compromise of debt is treated under paragraph 12A of the Income Tax Act, especially when the original debt funded a capital asset.

The article unpacks when a debt waiver could reduce the base cost of an asset, when it could trigger a capital gain, and why timing and the nature of the debt matter more than many realise.

Before agreeing to a debt waiver or restructuring arrangement, it is important to understand the potential tax impact.

What happens when a property seller passes away before transfer is registered? The agreement does not fall away under South African law.

If the sale was validly concluded, it remains binding on the parties even after the seller’s death. The process does not end there, but it does change.

The seller’s estate must first be reported to the Master of the High Court. An executor is then appointed to administer the estate and take control of the deceased’s obligations.

Once appointed, the executor effectively replaces the seller for purposes of the transaction. The executor is responsible for signing the necessary transfer documents to give effect to the sale.

Before the transfer can be finalised, the conveyancers must also obtain the Master’s consent after the executor has signed the required authority.

Only once this approval is granted can the transfer proceed in the normal way and be registered in the purchaser’s name.

While this process may cause delays and additional steps, the sale itself remains legally enforceable from start to finish.

Just 11 days after resigning, former senior employees started a competing business, raising important questions about fairness in competition and employer protection.

The judgment in π˜‹π˜ͺ𝘴𝘱𝘳𝘰 π˜›π˜¦π˜€π˜© 𝘚𝘈 (π˜—π˜΅π˜Ί) π˜“π˜΅π˜₯ 𝘷 𝘚𝘰𝘰𝘡 𝘚𝘀π˜ͺ𝘦𝘯𝘀𝘦 (π˜—π˜΅π˜Ί) π˜“π˜΅π˜₯ (5063/2025) [2026] π˜‘π˜ˆπ˜•π˜žπ˜π˜Š 99 considers what happens when former employees move quickly into direct competition with their previous employer.

The court looked at whether an unfair advantage was gained through the use of information and opportunities obtained during employment, even without a restraint of trade agreement.

This case highlights the legal principle that competition must still be fair, and that certain duties may continue even after employment ends.

Section 34 of the Insolvency Act 24 of 1936 plays a key role in protecting creditors in South African property and commercial law.

It requires that certain business asset transfers must be publicly advertised in the Government Gazette and newspapers within strict timeframes before the transfer takes place.

If this requirement is not met, the transfer may be declared void against creditors and a trustee in insolvency proceedings.

This provision is designed to ensure transparency and prevent business owners from secretly disposing of assets to avoid paying debts.

Compliance is therefore essential in any transaction involving the transfer of business assets.
