Editorial standards

The guides and insights on this site exist to help South African accounting practices and their clients understand how tax compliance actually works. This page sets out who writes that content, what it is grounded in, and the limits of what it can do for you.

Who writes it

Articles are written by the founder, Ty Panaino, who runs C-Suite and works directly with the practices the engines serve. There is no anonymous content desk behind the byline, and the work reflects one practitioner thinking in the open rather than a committee.

How it is grounded

Claims are grounded in primary sources cited inline. For tax, that means the published SARS guidance and the Income Tax Act, referenced where the point is made so you can follow the trail and check it yourself. Where a number, a date, or a rule comes from a specific source, the article says so at the point it matters.

Dates on every article

Every article carries a published date and a last-updated date, so you can see when it was written and when it was last checked against current rules. Tax changes, and an article that has not been touched since the rules moved is worth less than one you can date.

Information, not advice

The content here is general information about South African tax and is not tax, legal, or financial advice for your specific situation. A registered tax practitioner remains the person who reviews the facts and signs off any client return. Read these guides to understand the terrain, then bring the decision to a practitioner who can take responsibility for it.

When we review

Content is reviewed on a regular cadence and again whenever SARS changes a rule that touches it. When a review changes the substance of an article, the last-updated date moves with it, and material corrections are noted on the affected page in line with the corrections policy.
