About the lecture:
The lecture (Principles of South African Tax Law) will focus on taxation of non-residents for income tax purposes – will deal with the general principles of South African tax law and the issue of jurisdiction to tax from the South African perspective. This will lead the discussions into answering the question – when will non-residents be liable for income tax in South Africa?
