Taxation – what we told you in April Assistance from Deloitte on how to proceed was sought and received SARS letter of 10th February was responded to within the deadline. We have been exempted from submitting a tax return for 2005 and 2006 SARS have agreed to constitutional amendment being processed at Provincial Synod We have lodged a formal objection to the SARS assessments for 2009 – 2012 We have paid the tax and interest that we believe is due for 2009 – 2012 (R2.2 million) SARS have agreed to 2013 tax return being submitted by 29th April 2016 – on target SARS have agreed to 2014 tax return being submitted by 30th May 2016. Income tax return for 2015 will be completed on time in second half of this year. We are getting on top of tax issues thanks to Billy Joubert, Santha Moodley and Tammy Arendse at Deloitte, Terry Chamberlain (especially!) and David Butcher in the Diocesan Office, and Peter Goldhawk. Once SARS has issued revised assessments, tax payable will be recovered from parishes that had commercial income.

Schedule L: Parish Contributions The contributions shall be divided into two types: A parish contribution, which shall represent the amount needed to meet the stipends, the Diocesan portion of the pension contributions and such allowances as Synod may approve, of the clergy of that parish. Such contribution shall be paid by debit order on the 15th of each month and each parish shall ensure that sufficient funds are available to meet the debit order. A parish contribution to the diocese, which shall be an amount volunteered by the parish to contribute to the estimated expenditure of the Diocese for the following year, other than as set out in paragraph (a) above. If the [Diocesan Finance] Board is not satisfied that the contribution volunteered by the parish represents a fair proportion of the income of that parish, it shall delegate representatives of the Board to meet with the Churchwardens and Parish Council of that parish to discuss the matter, and attempt to agree a contribution to the satisfaction of both parties. In the event of failure to reach agreement, the matter shall be referred to the Bishop whose decision shall be final, and subject neither to appeal nor review.
