Living Abroad? You Still Have SARS Obligations. We Make It Easy.
Just because you’re living or working overseas doesn’t mean your South African tax responsibilities end. If you’re still a South African tax resident—
or even if you’ve emigrated but have SA-sourced income—you may still be required to file annual returns with SARS.
Our expert team helps expats navigate complex tax filing requirements, avoid penalties, and stay fully compliant with SARS regulations—no matter
where in the world you are.
Our Expat Tax Return Services Include:
• Full preparation and submission of annual SARS tax returns (ITR12)
• Declaration and correct treatment of foreign income (employment, pensions, investments, etc.)
• Application of foreign income exemptions (e.g. Section 10(1)(o)(ii))
• Claiming of foreign tax credits or treaty relief where applicable
• Verification and resolution of compliance notices from SARS
• Assistance with audits, disputes or auto-assessments
• Proactive SARS compliance checks to avoid future issues
What Makes Expat Tax Filing Different?
• Filing as an expat often involves:
• Declaring worldwide income if you’re still a South African tax resident
• Applying for foreign income exemptions (e.g. R1.25 million overseas income exemption)
• Avoiding double taxation through DTAs or foreign tax credits
• Ensuring proper declaration of offshore assets or trusts
Many expats assume they no longer need to file, only to face issues with SARS years later. We help you avoid those surprises.
Who This Service is For:
• South African citizens living or working abroad
• Expats with ongoing SA income (property, investments, business)
• Individuals undergoing formal tax emigration
• Remote workers or digital nomads with dual income sources
• Returning residents unsure of their current tax obligations
