It was determined that there are comprehensive requirements and guidelines in respect of the disclosure of taxation information in the financial reports of South African companies. These requirements and guidelines are regulated by the Companies Act, No. 61 of 1973, as well as the statements of Generally Accepted Accounting Practice that are issued by the South African Institute of Chartered Accountants. The analyses undertaken of the financial statements of the selected companies indicate that leading companies in South Africa comply to a large extent with the requirements and guidelines for the disclosure of taxation information in financial reports.enSchool of Accounting Sciences, UPDisclosure of current taxationDisclosure of deferred taxationDisclosure of taxation in cash-flow statementsDisclosure of taxation in notes to financial statementsDisclosure in accounting -- South AfricaArticle
