FAQ'S

How does a section 12J tax deduction work?

An investor qualifies for a deduction equal to the amount invested in a 12J VCC, duly registered with the FSCA and SARS, in the tax period the investment is made. The effective saving for the taxpayer is therefore the amount of the investment multiplied by his or her marginal tax rate.

When do I need to make the investment?

In the tax period you wish to claim the deduction in, e.g. if your financial year end is 28 February 2021, you need to make the investment, and have the cash paid over, on or before 28 February 2021.

Is there risk involved?

Yes. The performance of the fund will be directly linked to the performance of the investee companies. Risk will be mitigated through careful selection of investee companies, performance of due diligence investigations and the fact that a VCC may only invest up to 20% of capital raised in a single investee company, in essence forcing diversification.

Can I reinvest dividends, and will such an additional investment also qualify for the deduction?

Yes.
