A client holds shares in a company outside South Africa. Does that automatically mean the Controlled Foreign Company (CFC) rules apply?

For tax practitioners advising clients with foreign company interests, understanding the legislative framework and the circumstances that bring a company within these rules is critical before the resulting tax implications can be considered.

During our upcoming CPD webinar, Prof. Deborah Tickle CA(SA) will unpack when a CFC exists and provide a high-level overview of the key principles underpinning section 9D.

The discussion will then move beyond the legislation to practical examples that demonstrate how these principles apply.

Join us on 10 November 2026 from 10:00 to 11:30 (SA Time).
