Stepping down from a board position doesn't necessarily end your legal exposure.

The 2024 amendments to Section 162 of the Companies Act introduced a five-year look-back period, allowing applications for director delinquency or probation to be brought against former directors. In certain circumstances, courts may even extend this period where good cause exists.

The message is clear: accountability doesn't end when your term does.

If you're a director, shareholder or business owner, understanding your legal exposure is critical. Contact APA Africa for strategic legal guidance.

The biggest mistake right now? Copying someone else’s VAT decision. The South African Revenue Service threshold change gives you options — not answers.

Your decision depends on:
• Your pricing
• Your costs
• Your clients

Not another business. 👉 https://apaa.co.za/ 👇 Have you actually run your own numbers?

“Small businesses shouldn’t be VAT registered.” That thinking is outdated. In B2B, VAT registration strengthens your position — because clients can claim under the South African Revenue Service system.

This isn’t just tax. It’s pricing and perception.

👇 Thinking strategically — or just staying small?

The jump to R2.3m isn’t the real shift. Under the Value-Added Tax Act 89 of 1991, there’s no default anymore. You now have to choose your VAT position. And that choice has legal and commercial consequences — especially with South African Revenue Service.

This isn’t just a threshold change. It’s a decision point.

Before you deregister, answer this properly:

• Can you lose input VAT claims?
• Will clients be affected?
• Can you fund the exit VAT?

Because under the Value-Added Tax Act 89 of 1991, deregistration can trigger VAT on your assets. That’s immediate cash out. This isn’t admin — it’s exposure.

We’ve seen businesses lose good clients over VAT — not because of bad service, but because of bad decisions. They deregistered. Clients couldn’t claim VAT. Procurement flagged it. That’s all it takes. This isn’t admin. This is positioning.

VAT decisions come down to one thing: Who pays your invoices? If your answer is “other VAT vendors,” you need to think twice before deregistering. You’re not removing tax.

You’re shifting the burden. And in competitive markets, that matters more than people realise.

The voluntary VAT threshold moved from R50k to R120k. Small change? Not really. If you’re investing upfront — equipment, setup, infrastructure — registering early means you can claim that VAT back.

Under the Value-Added Tax Act 89 of 1991, that’s input tax recovery — and it directly impacts cash flow. For startups, this isn’t compliance.

It’s funding. 👉 https://apaa.co.za/ 👇 Are you registered — or waiting too long?

If you’re a consultant or service business with low overheads, this change could work in your favour.

Simple in theory:
• Drop your price by 15%
• Or keep it and increase margin

But real life isn’t theory. What happens to your input VAT claims? What happens to your positioning? At APA Africa, this is where we see the difference between “tax advice” and real strategy.

20/05/2026

This VAT threshold didn’t increase because government felt generous. It increased because the cost of running a business has gone through the roof since 2009.

This change is overdue. But here’s the thing — it doesn’t automatically benefit you. It gives you a choice. And bad decisions at this point are expensive.
