  Tax changes with regard to Premiums to Income Continuation Insurance Policies
 
Last year we informed you of the implications of a change to section11(w) of the Income Tax Act on the tax deductibility of premiums paid in respect of employer owned income continuation insurance (ICI) policies providing cover in the vent of the temporary disablement of an employee. This insurance is also known as PHI.

The effect of the 2010 tax change was that for an employer to still qualify for a tax deduction in terms of section 11(w)(i), the employer paid premiums to ICI policies had to be taxed as fringe benefits by employers in the hands of their employees with effect from the commencement of the employer’s first tax year on or after 1 January 2011.

 
This would require employers to deduct employees’ tax (PAYE) on these fringe benefits and pay it to SARS. As these premiums are not paid by the employee, he/she would not qualify for a tax deduction in his/her own name. 

It was hoped that the Income Tax Act would be amended retrospectively from 1 January 2011 to allow employees a deduction where ICI premiums were taxed in their hands as fringe benefits.

       
 

What is HIV AIDS?

HIV is the human immunodeficiency virus. It is the virus that can lead to acquired immune deficiency syndrome, or AIDS.

AIDS stands for acquired immunodeficiency syndrome. The body's immune system breaks down and is unable to fight off infections, known as "opportunistic infections," and other illnesses that take advantage of a weakened immune system.

HIV damages a person's body by destroying specific blood cells, called CD4+ T cells, which are crucial to helping the body fight diseases.

Global Economy: Not as good as hoped,
not as bad as feared!

Sygnals June 2011
 
June started cautiously, following disappointing US private sector job growth, weak manufacturing activity data from the US, Europe and China and the anticipated end of the Fed's US$600 billion bond-buying programme.
