What’s in a name? The status of Tax Courts as courts of law

The South African legal system is host to a number of quasi-judicial decision-making bodies which, while having the power to make decisions which are authoritative and may be binding on parties and while conducting proceedings in a judicial manner, cannot be described as courts of law in the proper sense. The High Court in the case of Poulter v The Commissioner for the South African Revenue Service (A88/2023) ZAWCHC had to determine whether the Tax Court was a court of law for the purposes of deciding whether a taxpayer could be represented by a layperson in the Tax Court. It should be noted that the Tax Court first considered the issue of a layperson’s right of appearance before it in 2016 (see our Tax and Exchange Control Alert of 9 September 2016), which we refer tobelow.

Employee vs Independent Contractor vs TES

The test for determining who is an employee and who is an independent contractor differs with reference to persons who earns above or below the threshold in terms of s6(3) of the Basic Conditions of Employment Act 75 of 1997 (BCEA). An independent contractor, unlike TES employees, is not an employee either of the client or the TES. Independent contractors render services for a fee, whereas a TES provides labour to a client for reward. Ultimately the test is always substance over form and the nature of the agreement is not definitive.
