- The SCA dismissed SARS appeal against African Bank regarding the Tax Court’s jurisdiction to hear VAT apportionment method disputes
- African Bank requested SARS approve a specific transaction based VAT apportionment method but SARS issued a substantially different ruling instead
- African Bank objected to the alternative method and appealed to the Tax Court when the objection was disallowed
- SARS argued the Tax Court lacked jurisdiction because approving an alternative method did not constitute a refusal under the VAT Act
- The central issue was whether approving an alternate apportionment method instead of the requested one constitutes a refusal that can be objected to and appealed
