An ever-widening tax net – No reprieve for emigrating South Africans

An ever-widening tax net â No reprieve for emigrating South Africans
By Opinion
By: Jonty Leon
In 2017, the battle against governmentâs proposal to amend well established legislation, which provided South African residents living and working abroad an exemption from taxation on their foreign employment income reached a conclusion.
Tax Consulting SA and Barry Pretorius of the South African Expatriate Petition Group spearheaded the fight against the proposed amendment, which at the time would have completely removed the exemption altogether.
Taking expatriatesâ plight all the way to the steps of Parliament, the outcome was that government would amend the legislation to allow for an exemption of R1 million â now R1.25mil, from 1 March 2020.

OPINION | Want to withdraw retirement funds on emigration?

South Africans who are emigrating for exchange control purposes can currently make pre-retirement lump sum withdrawals from their retirement funds.
A proposal in the Draft Tax Bill says lump sum benefits from retirement funds should only be allowed when a member of a retirement fund is no longer an SA resident and has remained non-tax resident for three years.
The three-year rule will impact all who are members of retirement funds and require immediate access to their retirement funds upon emigration.
The National Treasury has published the Draft Taxation Laws Amendment Bill, 2020 (Draft Tax Bill) for public comment. One of the more contentious proposals in the Draft Tax Bill relates to the ability of people emigrating from South Africa to access amounts in their pension preservation fund, provident preservation fund and retirement annuity fund (retirement funds) when they leave.

National Treasury is proposing an alteration to the Income Tax Act that will remove the ability of thousands of low income South African families to receive tax exempt bursaries for their children.
The families currently benefiting from this are majority black, low-income households and this alteration, should it go ahead, will severely impact thousands of families’ ability to pay for quality education, especially significant in a post-Covid-19 economy.
Tax expert Vedika Andhee, said: “Covid-19 has devastated our economy. Dual income households have become ‘single’ income’ or ‘no income’ households. Fortunately, as is the culture in South Africa, irrespective of how difficult their own circumstances, where employed family members can assist, they readily step up.

The families currently benefiting from this are majority black, low-income households and this alteration, should it go ahead, will severely impact thousands of families’ ability to pay for quality education, especially significant in a post-COVID-19 economy.
Vedika Andhee, a leading tax expert, says,
“COVID-19 has devastated our economy. Dual income households have become ‘single’ income’ or ‘no income’ households. Fortunately, as is the culture in South Africa, irrespective of how difficult their own circumstances, where employed family members can assist, they readily step up. It has therefore become more important than ever that this benefit continues to exist and relief is provided to these employees.”
