Greece back on the agenda. |

Gallet Sygnals - January 2012 |
| |
The year started on an unexpectedly upbeat note as the US economic data painted a picture of steady recovery. From stronger retail sales and manufacturing figures, to rising consumer confidence, the US is looking healthier.
Elsewhere, however, manufacturing activity was subdued with the euro zone's industrial sector suffering its fifth straight month of declines in December and Asian factories mostly stuck in a rut. Only China and India surprised on the upside.
Both the World Bank and the IMF cut their global economic growth forecasts for 2012. The World Bank projects global growth of 2.5% in 2012 and 3.1% in 2013, down from previous estimates of 3.6% for both years. The US is expected to grow at 2.2%, Japan at 1.9%, China at 8.4%. The IMF was more optimistic with global growth expected at 3.3%, and the euro zone shrinking by 0.5%. |

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.
