ABOUT THE BOOK (TX-ZAF)

People who have been exposed to other tax systems find the South African tax system to be unnecessarily complicated. They may well have a point, and they end up not choosing the South African variant papers.


People who have studied South African tax before may find it challenging to switch from an academic approach and conventional literature to the unique style of examining used by a professional body with agility and global outreach.


This book is written for the ACCA’s South African first tax variant paper and covers every topic in the published TX-ZAF syllabus.

 

It is written in a study guide style to simplify topics for those who do not have prior exposure to the South African tax system and to assist those who did not obtain an exemption for the TX-ZAF paper to focus on examinable areas only. It is suitable for self-study and valuable for those who wish to switch to South African variant papers.


It considers recent exam questions and draws students’ attention to areas that were problematic to candidates in recent exams.
