This workshop series is presented by Jannie Rossouw, a seasoned Chartered Accountant (SA) with decades of practical experience. Until recently, Jannie owned his own auditing firm and now dedicates his time exclusively to estate administration. He also presents webinars in our Wills and estates webinar series.
The liquidation & distribution (L&D) account is the nucleus in the administration of a deceased estate. However, many deceased estate administrators have trouble preparing L&D accounts, especially regarding deemed property, pension and retirement annuities, other insurance products, and usufructs. Executors often struggle to distinguish correctly between creditors, estate administration costs and income and expenses after death. This workshop will equip you with practical examples and know-how to properly prepare an L&D account.

Many executors have difficulty preparing the Estate Duty-addendum in the L&D, especially regarding the apportionment of and the persons liable for the duty. The completion of the REV267 Estate Duty Return is often a source of frustration due to assets not shown in the L&D, and policy proceeds shown or not shown in the L&D.
In this workshop, the deceased estate taxes, i.e. income tax, capital gains tax, and estate duty will be calculated and accounted for based on the information gathered and contained in the L&D above, for both the deceased and the deceased estate. The REV267 Estate Duty Return will be completed based on the information and documents in the example.
Workshop 2 can be taken separately or in conjunction with Workshop 1.
