What does an annual subscription cover?

In accordance with the SARS External Guide: Criteria for the Registration of Tax Practitioners (effective 11 October 2024) at page 5, “a year commences on 1 January and ends on 31 December of a year…”

Therefore the 2025 annual package applies to the year ended 31 December 2025.  CPD Consortium acknowledges that the compliance requirements of the relevant RCB’s extend beyond the calendar year and therefore subscription package holders will enjoy access to the following until 31 October 2026:

  • A tax practitioner is required to retain a record of their CPE for 5 years, e.g., competency certificates

Please note: A year commences on 1 January and ends on 31 December of a year, and therefore the 18 hours is calculated on a pro rata basis for newly registered tax practitioners depending on the registration date.

Note: It is essential that a tax practitioner ensures that any additional requirements of their RCB are also met.
