Hedron started as a partnership between Phillip Haupt and Keith Huxham in 1982 (H & H Publications) with the publication of the first edition of "Notes on South African Income Tax". The book was popular with universities and technikons from the beginning and was adopted over the years as a useful handbook, by accountants, attorneys, and the South African Revenue Service.

Both Keith and Phillip are chartered accountants with honours degrees in Taxation from the University of Cape Town. In addition, Keith has a B.Sc. in geology and Phillip has a Business Science degree in law. Both have been on the academic staff (Keith full-time and Phillip full-time and part-time) at the University of Cape Town for over 25 years, and have been associate professors in tax at the University. Phillip is currently a part-time associate professor.

They run annual tax update and budget seminars for the accounting, auditing and law professions. These have proved very popular over the last 20 years due to the clarity of presentation and detailed notes provided.

Phillip is a specialist tax consultant with over 20 years experience. He has an office in Cape Town (Standard Bank Centre), dealing with accounting and law firms and their clients.

Over the years they have produced the following books:

• Getting to know VAT (a practical approach)
• South African VAT, the Book
• The Complete Guide to South African Sales Tax
• The Southern Life Guide to Income Tax and Estate Duty
• The Hedron Guide to Value-Added Tax
• Advanced Tax Planning in South Africa

"Notes on South African Income Tax" has been the focus of their attention and is now in its 28th annual edition
