Tax Practitioner Registration Details

(If you registered in the 2023 year, the CPD requirement may be apportioned. If you registered in a prior year, you will be required to attain the full CPD hours for the 2023 year.)

2023 Registration

*5. If you registered with SAICA as your RCB in the 2023 SAICA membership period (1 January 2023 to date), please select the month when you registered with SAICA as a tax practitioner.

(It is important to provide the month in which you registered during the 2023 SAICA membership period to ensure that the CPD hours are correctly apportioned if you were not registered for the full 2023 membership period.)

Tax Practitioner Annual Declaration:

Tax practitioners have until 31 December 2023 to attain the required CPD hours and until 5 January 2024 to submit the declaration. No exemption will be granted to Tax Practitioners for the CPD requirement. Tax practitioners over the age of 65 also need to adhere to this requirement. If you registered for the first time as a CA(SA), AGA(SA) or AT(SA) in the 2023 calendar year, you must still submit an annual declaration and must keep your own record of your CPD activities undertaken which will need to be presented if you are selected for monitoring.

Tax Practitioners must attain a minimum of 18 verifiable CPD hours annually, consisting of the following:

  • 10 tax hours;
  • 2 ethics hours; and
  • 6 hours relating to the service provided by the individual, for example audit, financial reporting, etc. If the individual provides only tax services, then presumably additional tax CPD hours will fulfill this requirement.

Take note that no time extension will be granted to Tax Practitioners to fulfill the CPD requirement after 31 December 2023. Make sure that you have sufficient CPD for 2023 by answering Integritax quizzes on eVOLVE and attend the SAICA tax-related seminars, for example the monthly Techtalk: Tax, which you may book via the SAICA website. The Integritax articles are published in the Accountancy SA – you will need to access these articles and read them before attempting to answer the quizzes. Remember to keep a record of your attendance for all learning events and complete quizzes where relevant to verify the CPD for SAICA webcast events. Quizzes for SAICA webcasts are available on the eVOLVE platform on the SAICA website. You will need to answer the relevant questions after the event.

NOTE: SAICA will, on a sample basis, verify Tax Practitioners’ compliance to the Tax Practitioner Annual Declaration. Please note that the monitoring process and accordingly the evidence will be requested in February 2024, with a deadline at a date to be advised for the selected sample.
