On 31 January‚ in its annual results‚ Hudaco advised that SARS had indicated that it intended taxing the group on certain aspects flowing from the implementation of its BEE structure. As stated in the announcement‚ senior counsel indicated that Hudaco's case will stand up to scrutiny.
This positive view was expressed even though the communication from SARS referred to other arrangements connected to the structure which were apparently ascertained by SARS from third parties and about which Hudaco previously had no knowledge.
