FINANCIAL EMIGRATION & RELOCATION FROM SOUTH AFRICA TO ABROAD

Financial Emigration

is the formal process to note oneself as a non-resident for tax and exchange control purposes in South Africa. The process ensures that one has met all requirements under the Income Tax Act No.58 of 1962 to ensure that one is a non-resident in accordance with South Africa’s tax residency tests and also ensures compliance with all exchange control regulations for non-residency.

WHY US FOR FINANCIAL EMIGRATION?

Financial Emigration is part of the Tax Consulting South Africa group of companies which has been in existence for 17 years and are widely acknowledged as the market leaders in Expatriate Tax. The group was entrusted by Barry Pretorius and South African expats worldwide to represent the Expatriate Petition Group (“EPG”) in parliament to fight the law change, which resulted in the R1.25mil exemption, and also authored the LexisNexis’ first of its kind Expatriate Tax textbook released late year.

Our multidisciplinary team of more than 130 professionals including Tax Attorneys, Tax Practitioners, Chartered Accountants (SA) and Emigration specialists, will take over the entire FE application process on your behalf. This gives you peace of mind that the administratively burdensome and somewhat complex process is handled end-to-end, where we deal closely with SARS, ensuring full compliance with all legislation.
