Supporting All In Taxation: Roadshow - Pretoria

We're hitting the road- and we're coming to a city near you!

SAIT CEO, Keith Engel, along with other senior SAIT staff members, will be visiting cities across the country to connect with our members, listen to your concerns, and discuss what lies ahead.

Why now?

It has been a particularly tumultuous time in the world of tax. The national budget speech was postponed for the first time in recent history- an unprecedented move that added to the uncertainty in the fiscal landscape. This, coupled with the recent court ruling overturning the controversial 1% tax increase, has left many practitioners seeking clarity. This roadshow is our opportunity to engage directly with members, reflect on these developments, and chart a path forward together.

What to expect:

Keith will give an update on the direction SAIT is heading- where we are now and what we see on the horizon. The session will be open and interactive, with a Q&A segment to hear your views, questions, and concerns.

Why you should attend:

1. Gain firsthand insights into SAIT's priorities and the current tax environment.
2. Speak directly with senior SAIT leaders- share feedback, raise issues, and contribute ideas.
3. Network with fellow SAIT members in your area and build valuable professional connections.
