In this issue
of Hospitality Business Hub, the members of HPASA
discuss hard-hitting topics that affect those
of you in the business of hospitality.
Cape
Town has once again been recognised as a prime
destination for tourists the world
over by global travel site, TripAdvisor but the
Mother City’s 5-Star hotel market has been
the subject of negative speculation, which can
create the wrong perception.
Do
you still want to be a director under the new
Companies Act?
Directors’ need to know their rights and
must be aware of what is expected of them.
When dealing with a sales
transaction subject to VAT, it is
important to obtain insight into the Seller’s
VAT compliance background - the reason being that
SARS is on a war path to put a stop to attempts
by taxpayers to avoid paying VAT and/or transfer
duty and personal tax.
Read these articles and more from our editorial
highlights below.
We look forward to serving your local and worldwide
hospitality needs.
Yours in Hospitality,
The Hospitality
