Is there a Price to pay when entering an agreement subject to foreign law?

While legal proceedings may be instituted in South Africa pertaining to a dispute governed by foreign law, such proceedings may be practically cumbersome to prosecute in South African courts for various reasons, including: * additional cost to litigants in obtaining advice from foreign legal practitioners on the application of the particular foreign law to the dispute being determined before a South African judge; * additional cost to litigants for their South African legal practitioners to become au fait with that particular foreign law; * the possible appointment of an assessor to aid the judge appointed to determine the matter in accordance with that particular foreign law; and * the possible appointment of the matter to be case managed.

Tax stability and predictability for economic sustainability

Prior to deciding to introduce or redomicile a business in any country, an investor must always consider how favourable, stable, and predictable the country’s tax system is. The primary rationale for this is the need for certainty and guarantee regarding the future sustainability of investment in the host country. This predictability ensures that the investor can plan for their business, which includes planning ahead for tax liabilities and allocating resources appropriately and efficiently. On the other hand, a tax regime that is unstable and unpredictable has the opposite effect, that is, it hinders an investor’s power to consciously make investment decisions, which would ultimately be a deterrent, leading to capital flight and reduced economic activity. Foreign direct investment (FDI) is particularly sensitive to tax stability and predictability, as investors weigh the risks associated with potential changes in tax laws. Countries with consistent and transparent tax regimes are more likely to attract FDI, contributing to economic development and job creation.
