The Tax Indaba, held from 11 to 15 September 2017 at the Sandton Convention Centre, Johannesburg, is now the largest annual gathering bringing together the entire tax community – tax practitioners, in-house staff members, government tax officials and tax academics. The Tax Indaba seeks to involve all professional tax bodies in South Africa and to add new variety and talent to benefit tax professionals who are seeking to refresh their knowledge and to learn about new tax-related developments.
The theme of stream 2 on day 5 of the conference was ‘Tax education: Development and Efficacy’. This session was attended by Theresa van Oordt, Tanya Hill, Juanita Venter and Noma Bafana from the Department of Taxation. Theresa Van Oordt and Juanita Venter also represented the University of Pretoria as invited panel members on the following panels:
-
Academic Relevance to Practice: Tax Course Content
-
Student Practical Training
-
Academic Writing as a Source to Draw Upon
The session provided valuable input from academics, graduates, young tax professionals and employers regarding taxation education in South Africa.
Important aspects were discussed and will be taken forward by the South African Institute of Tax Practitioners (SAIT) towards contributing to the tax professional brand in South Africa.
