Brought to you by SA Legal Academy: National Treasury has issued an early call for technical tax proposals for possible inclusion in Annexure C of the 2027 Budget Review, initiating the legislative cycle for the upcoming tax amendment bills.

Under the annual tax legislative cycle governing amendments to the Income Tax Act, No. 58 of 1962, the Value-Added Tax Act, No. 89 of 1991, and the Tax Administration Act, No. 28 of 2011, Annexure C addresses technical tax policy issues, unintended statutory anomalies, and anti-avoidance refinements. The invitation comes approximately two months earlier than standard practice, preceding the Medium Term Budget Policy Statement (MTBPS) scheduled for tabling on 21 October 2026.

Submissions must conform to National Treasury’s standard technical format, detailing the specific legislative provisions at issue, the unintended tax policy or administrative consequences, and the proposed statutory remedies.

Key Dates and Proceedings

  • Submission deadline: 30 September 2026
  • Medium Term Budget Policy Statement: 21 October 2026
  • Virtual consultation workshops: 29 and 30 October 2026

What this means for you, your business, or your clients

  • For yourself: Review recurring interpretive friction, statutory ambiguities, or compliance hurdles encountered in daily practice to draft structured technical submissions.
  • For your business: Collate operational tax inefficiencies or administrative drafting defects and submit prescribed representation templates to National Treasury before the 30 September 2026 deadline.
  • For your clients: Identify specific transaction or sector bottlenecks caused by legislative oversights and register clients for attendance or representations at the 29–30 October 2026 virtual workshops.
