BUSINESS MAVERICK: Naspers’ Amsterdam listing elicits taxing questions By Tim Cohen

In June 2019, Anchor, one of SA’s most inventive and newly established local money managers, sent messages to Naspers shareholders warning they might be facing a capital gains tax surprise as part of Naspers’ partial listing on the Amsterdam exchange, and proposing a solution.

The intention is that the manoeuvre will reduce the discount at which Naspers trades to its Chinese investment, TenCent. Shareholders need to decide whether this scheme will work or not. Naspers is, to face facts, now a very large stock on the JSE, worth around 22% of the entire exchange. It has effectively outgrown the local market.

According to Anchor CEO Peter Armitage, the idea won’t suit everyone and is really designed for people who want to diversify their interests. If you do it with the intention of avoiding CGT, the receiver could come after you, he acknowledges. But, he argues, it’s not a tax avoidance scheme, because ultimately you will have to pay the CGT when the funds are withdrawn.

What is fair and reasonable in a company with a market capitalisation of R1.5-trillion is not necessarily the same as in a company half the size. While the war for talent in the hi-tech space arguably drives salaries into the stratosphere, where is the limit? What cannot be argued is that after maintaining a stubborn indifference to shareholder concern, Naspers is doing its best to coax shareholders to its point of view. sashaplanting Why not? These okes are money magnets
