Defining a royalty from a South African perspective for the purposes of the South African Income Tax Act and the South African application of its Double Tax Treaty network

Abstract

dc:description.abstract

The word "royalty" is used in South Africa's Income Tax Act No. 58 of 1962 ("TA") at various points. Although there is a general understanding on the meaning of a royalty, there is no official definition for this term which can be used throughout the ITA. Section 35 of the ITA provides the strongest guidance of what a royalty is. However, this section applies to royalties and similar payments.
