What Is Tax Emigration?

Tax emigration is the process by which you change your tax residency status from South Africa to that of a non-resident. This step is crucial for ensuring that you are not taxed on your worldwide income by SARS and that your global assets are appropriately managed under your new country’s tax laws.

Unlike physical relocation, tax emigration involves addressing complex financial matters such as asset declarations, exit tax, and compliance with exchange control regulations. By undergoing tax emigration with Fin Select, you ensure that your earnings, investments, and retirement funds are optimised and legally protected.

Why Is Tax Emigration Important?

Since 1 March 2021, significant changes to the financial emigration process have increased the tax implications for South African expatriates. Completing the tax emigration process is essential to avoid liabilities such as double taxation on global income and restrictions on accessing retirement funds.

Benefits of Tax Emigration:

  • Ensure you are not taxed on worldwide income in South Africa
  • Access retirement annuities and preservation funds when needed
  • Transfer inheritance and other funds abroad without excessive penalties
  • Avoid future complications in estate planning or international investments
