COMPREHENSIVE UPDATE ON EXPAT TAX:
SOUTH AFRICANS WORKING IN THE MIDDLE EAST

South Africans working in the Middle East are one of the more well-informed global “SAFFA” communities when it comes to South African expatriate taxation.

However, since our last trip in the to the Middle East in the first quarter of 2020, there have been further law changes and additional complexities from a SARS perspective that have come into place.

This has led to many of our existing clients and newer Middle East expatriates asking us to return once again, to dispel the myths and misinformation that have cropped up among social groups and from inexperienced advisors, and to provide accurate information to ensure the SAFFA community remains well educated and aware of how to remain tax complaint and mitigate their tax exposure in SA.

FIRST-IN-MARKET POST-COVID #EXPATTAX PRESENTATIONS

As the world opens after the crippling effects of the Omicron variant, we feel it is the right time to heed the call of South Africans working abroad and return to having in-person events while remaining conscious and adhering to COVID-19 protocols.

The presentations come ahead of the 2021/2022 Tax Season in South Africa, with our Expat Tax team returning to the cities of Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Doha and Muscat from 23 February to 2 March 2022.

The events will feature a 2-hour presentation and 1-hour networking session by:

Jean du Toit, Head of Tax Technical & Co-Author of LexisNexis’ Expatriate Tax textbook
Thomas Lobban, Legal Manager, Cross-Border Taxation

*Advisors attending on behalf of their South African clients are most welcome. Through TCSA’s Professional Partner Network, we encourage collaboration with other tax, financial and accounting practices. The aim of our network is to provide support on matters ranging from simple to complex, to deliver a favourable outcome for one’s clients.

ABOUT THE SPEAKER

Thomas Lobban

LEXISNEXIS EXPATRIATE TAX TEXTBOOK 2ND EDITION

Lexisnexis South Africa approached Tax Consulting South Africa to author a first of its kind expatriate tax compliance textbook in 2019.

Since then, there have been significant changes in legislation, thus we were once again approached to release an updated version.

This new edition covers the phasing out of the formal emigration process through the South African Reserve Bank.
A new segment addresses allowances for day trips in South Africa. This is discussed and clarified regarding how it interacts with existing provisions.
Previous chapters in the textbook on pensions, lump sum payments, and annuities have been revised to reflect retirement reform, which went into effect on March 1, 2021.
The capital gains tax chapter now incorporates a discussion of crypto assets.
