Dlamini Attorneys specialises in the registration of new patents and trademarks as well as setting up contracts for selling
existing patents and trademarks. The business is NOT a registered VAT vendor. The South African government started the
planning and construction of a new smart city in KwaZulu Natal. Dlamini Attorneys decided to branch out to seize the
opportunity since they belief many new patents and trademarks will be developed or created from this initiative.
On 1 September 2023, Dlamini Attorneys bought furniture for the new office to the amount of R27 780. The purchase was
financed through a loan obtained from Anele Bank.
It was decided to depreciate the furniture by 20% per annum using the reducing-balance method. The financial year of Dlamini
Attorneys ends on 31 December 2023.
