With the tax filing season right around the corner, it’s imperative that South African expatriates understand the intricacies of the SARS Non-Resident Confirmation Letter. This “Golden Ticket” is your final piece of evidence needed to confirm you are no longer liable to pay tax in South Africa on your foreign earnings.
This session will unpack how to practically obtain this golden ticket, along with its importance if you apply for relief under a Double Taxation Agreement (DTA). Further, it will cover the steps one needs to avoid the dreaded “rejection” letter where you get it wrong.
Whether you are new to working abroad, or a seasoned “SAFFA” needing to confirm if you have correctly ceased tax residency, this session is ideal for you. This is an opportunity to hear directly from leading experts, who deal with expatriate tax and DTAs for South Africans on a daily basis.
