Tax Residency – What implications for Expats working in South Africa?


European companies operating in South Africa are often employing expatriates. There are many questions around the taxation of these employees. In some cases, these expats, after their posting, decide to remain in South Africa and apply for permanent residency. What taxation would these employees be subject to?


To unveil tax matters of foreign residents (and non-residents) in South Africa, we have invited 2 tax specialists from Mazars who will cover the following topics:

  • When will you be considered a South African tax resident?
  • What are the South African tax implications for non-residents working in South Africa?
  • What are the compliance requirements for non-residents working in South Africa?


The presentation will be followed by an extensive Q&A session.


This event is organised in collaboration with the Belgian Chamber of Commerce for Southern Africa (BCCSA), the South African Portuguese Chamber of Commerce (SAPCC), the The Italian-South African Chamber of Trade and Industry, the French South African Chamber of Commerce & Industry (FSACCI) and the Austrian Business Chamber (ABC).
