« on: January 13, 2021, 07:27:48 PM »I think it makes perfect sense. Between the falls and safari, it'd be like a mini SA trip.there are Game reserves near CPT
If you haven't been to SA, doing CPT only means you'd want to return one day for safari anyway. Might as well do Kruger + CPT then.
OP is arriving Thurs afternoon....
Throw in something like Sanbona or Aquila with a trip to the wine farms
VFA and Chobe is one kind of trip and a week is IMHO alot for that (not that you cant be kept busy) and CPT is a different type
VFA and Chobe can be combined with Kariba Dam or Okavango for a weeks activities

General Discussion / Re: any accountants out there that i can ask a question?
« on: January 10, 2021, 03:46:36 PM »I have heard that many accountants are hesitant to use the "home office" deduction. I have heard this specifically about Lakewood accountants. I've been told they consider it a red flag for an audit.its a red flag if you use actual expenses that are high
Is there any substance to this?? My grandfather practiced tax for several decades and told me he never had an audit relating to the home office deduction. He never hesitated using it. Any info would be appreciated!
especially now that there is a simplified option

Look into some of the boutique hotels (i have no recommendations)
if you aren;t tied down to Sea Point
there is the Gardens neighborhood on the other side of the Table Mtn
there is the Belmond Mt Nelson a short walk from Cafe Riteve and the Gardens Shul (not sure if any of it is open) 15 on Orange is A Marriott Property
I believe Yehoshua talked about this above
Shlep to get to Sea point from there though
