We are gearing ourselves up for the final month of the 2017 financial year. There's a wave of excitement and a sense of accomplishment down our corridors as we are planning for the new financial period.

That all important deadline of 15 February 2017 is just around the corner for stakeholders who wish to apply for the various Fasset discretionary grants on offer.

Love is the most wonderful of all feelings in this world. It's Valentine's Day on the 14th February and what could be a better time to let your dear ones know that you love them. On behalf of the Fasset team, I am sending you smiles this Valentine's day.

Enjoy the rest of the February month!

Work-integrated learning is needed for the TVET learners

Fasset seeks to place learners from public TVET Colleges with employers in the sector for 18 months. These are learners who have successfully completed their theory component (N4, N5 and N6 certificates); and are in need of 18 months practical experience. This practical experience will aid the learners in completing their Diplomas. Fasset will reimburse participating employers for the monthly stipend and travel allowance for each learner.

Fasset's Budget and Tax Update has always been Fasset's flagship lifelong learning event. Fasset will host half-day seminars countrywide from the 7 to 31 March 2016. The workshops will be facilitated by ProBeta Training. The workshops will focus on areas such as the overview of the key proposals in the 2017 budget; the Rates and Monetary Amounts and Amendment of Revenue Laws Act No. 13 of 2016 - 19 January 2017; the Rates and Monetary Amounts and Amendment of Revenue Laws (Administration) Act No. 14 of 2016 - 19 January 2017; and other relevant and interesting developments in tax, SARS administration, including important tax cases and rulings issued during 2016 and early 2017.
