The South Africa Tax Engine
Cassandra's South Africa tax engine reasons over South African primary sources rather than a generic global model. Answers name the statute, the section, and the South African Revenue Service (SARS) guidance relied on, so SARS-registered tax practitioners, chartered accountants (SA), attorneys can verify the reasoning before it reaches a client.
Where legislation is amended or guidance is withdrawn, the engine states which version it relied on. Cross-border questions combine this engine with the applicable double tax agreement, the OECD Model Tax Convention commentary, the OECD Transfer Pricing Guidelines, and BEPS Pillar One and Pillar Two materials.
