Avoid Double Taxation – Maximize Global Tax Efficiency
If you earn income from outside South Africa, you may be paying tax in two countries. But did you know you could legally reduce or eliminate double
taxation by claiming foreign tax credits or treaty relief under a Double Tax Agreement (DTA)?
We help individuals and businesses navigate the complex cross-border tax rules to ensure you don’t overpay – and that you remain compliant with
both SARS and international tax authorities.
What We Offer:
• Assessment of eligibility for foreign tax credits and treaty benefits
• Application of relevant DTAs between South Africa and your country of income
• Calculation of allowable credits against South African tax
• Preparation of supporting documents and filings with SARS
• Guidance on correct tax treatment of foreign income types (e.g., employment, dividends, interest, capital gains)
• Resolution of disputes or double taxation issues with SARS or foreign authorities
What Are Foreign Tax Credits and Treaty Relief?
• Foreign Tax Credit: A deduction for taxes paid to another country on foreign income, reducing your South African tax liability.
• Double Tax Agreement (DTA) Relief: Specific provisions in international treaties that prevent the same income from being taxed twice, or
provide reduced tax rates.
• South Africa has signed DTAs with over 70 countries, each with its own rules. Applying these benefits correctly can result in significant tax
savings – but requires proper understanding and documentation.
Who Benefits from This Service?
• South African tax residents earning income abroad
• Expats with dual-tax exposure
• Freelancers, consultants, and remote workers with international clients
• Investors receiving foreign dividends, royalties, or capital gains
• Individuals facing double taxation due to global mobility or remote work arrangements
Stay Compliant. Save on Tax.
International tax rules are complicated, but we make them work in your favour. With expert knowledge of SARS processes and international treaties,
we ensure you claim every legal credit and relief available to you.
