Student feedback

"Having only recently been exposed to sectional title developments and management, the contents of the course makes it obvious how much I actually did not know about sectional title schemes, their composition and day-to-day workings." - Wally Manson, portfolio manager.

April 2012 (Volume 7, Issue 4) |
I am very excited to tell you about two new Paddocks publications due to be released soon. They are the Home Owners' Association Survival Manual and the Sectional Title Meetings Handbook. Our marketing team will give you more details of each of them and will let you know when they are available.
In this edition of Paddocks Press:
1. Anton looks at Community Scheme Meetings (ST and HOA);
2. Clint Riddin unpacks SARS' recently revised system of Taxation of Community Schemes – this is the first article in a series of three on this topic;
3. We give details of two new short courses, each available via the internet "on demand" and costing less than R200, and
4. I answer a number of questions.
Enjoy the forthcoming public holidays.
Kind regards,
Graham

Community scheme meetings
|
 |
The importance of attending meetings
|
by Anton Kelly
|
|
One of the most consistent complaints we hear from managing agents and people serving as trustees concerns “owner apathy”. They say it can be nearly impossible to get anything non-routine done – decisions that can only be taken by owners can’t be dealt with as there are often insufficient owners present at meetings to form a quorum. There is another side to this coin and it also creates problems.
In this article, Anton looks at the importance of attending your community scheme meetings. (reading time: ± 2 min)

Taxation of community schemes by SARS
|
 |
SARS interpretation note 64
|
by Clint Riddin
|
|
The taxation of these schemes is generally misunderstood by members and trustees alike. New developments in tax compliance even require individuals who are below the tax threshold to register as taxpayers.
In this article, Clint begins to look at the new SARS Interpretation note 64 and he will continue to address this over the next few editions. (reading time: ± 2 min)
