TAXPAYERS' RIGHTS IN SOUTH AFRICA (2010) by Beric Croome

"Taxpayers’ Rights in South Africa" is the only book available to deal with the interplay between South African constitutional and tax law. It evaluates how South African Revenue Services powers function in relation to taxpayers’ constitutional rights and thoroughly and systematically unpacks the rights to property, equality, privacy, access to information, just administrative action and access to courts. Based on personal experience and award-winning research, this work provides guidance on issues that perplex taxpayers, SARS officials and tax practitioners every day.


'This book is the first full-scale attempt to discuss the important topic of taxpayers’ rights in South Africa and will provide a worthy addition to our literature on South African tax law.' Judge I F Farlam – Retired Judge of Appeal of the Supreme Court of Appeal

'Croome’s book forms the basis of significant beneficial developments in the administration of South Africa’s tax laws. His recommendations are often controversial but will assist in informed decision making in an area that remains relatively unexplored in legal commentary.’ Prof. D Bentley – Curtin University of Technology, Perth, Australia

'This work is of great significance in the context of South Africa’s tax jurisprudence. It provides a thoughtful summation of the way forward in this important new dimension of tax law.'  Prof. R C Williams – Univ. of KwaZulu-Natal.

TAX ADMINISTRATION  (2010) by Beric Croome and Lynette Olivier 
IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT: Updated 2nd edition of TAX ADMINISTRATION now available see above.

The rules governing tax administration in South Africa are often confusing and sometimes seem arbitrary. This book provides all tax practitioners with clear and authoritative guidance on aspects such as the registration and submission of tax returns, assessments, requests for information, penalties and interest, privilege, reportable arrangements, dispute resolution, advance tax rulings and remedies. Showing how areas of law interrelate and noting best international practice, the authors set out the rules of tax collection in a well-structured and theoretically sound way.

Professor Michael Katz has this to say: "This book will be invaluable to everybody who has any involvement in tax - including the judiciary, the legislature in dealing with tax policy, tax administrators, practitioners, teachers and students".
