The industrial supplies conglomerate had been hit with an unforeseen tax liability of R200m

holding company, Invicta, said on Wednesday profit would surge by at least R200m in its six months to end-September as it recovers from an unforeseen tax provision.

The industrial supplies conglomerate said headline earnings per share would rise to 187c from 2c previously — an increase of almost 10,000%.In September 2018, Invicta said it had reached a settlement with the SA Revenue Service in which it would pay R750m in respect of a taxation dispute, over the course of four years.

This resulted in Invicta raising an additional specific taxation expense of R200m in its six months to end-September 2018, resulting in the settlement amount being fully provided for. The tax dispute related to a previous empowerment structure put in place by the company. Invicta's share price was unchanged at R21.01 as of 10.30am on Wednesday, having fallen 39.63% so far in 2019.

Maybe the rule of thumb should - if Wiese is buying into company you own shares - f$king sell. It is going tank!

How did Wiese ever make money? - everything he touches goes to shit. Hey, our very own Donald J Trump right here in SA.

The article makes no sense, since when does a provision for tax - increase profits. Unless the provision was raised in the prior year and reversed in the current year. Someone is trying to pull a fast one.

South Africans are spending R70m a year to house MPs in Cape TownSouth African tax payers are forking out hundreds of millions every year to house parliamentarians at official residences in Cape Town. How many houses can they build with that R70mil? Or how many students dept can be cleared with that R70mil? Wasting money while the poor suffer. They should utilise private residences like ordinary citizens. Problem is you can't move parliament because cape town will become a Regards Bay with no prospects of a viable economy.
