As an expat, still holding assets and other interests in South Africa, it’s in your interest to know your SARS tax status because you never know when you might need this information!
The common ‘mistake’ people make when leaving the South Africa to go live abroad is requesting SARS to deregister their tax number, not thinking they may need an active and up to date tax record when they want to move money from South Africa in the future.
The bottom line: no tax number no can move money.
Be an optimist – make sure you have a tax number – it may come in handy. What is your tax status? You don’t know! Ask a finglobal.com consultants to give you a call, at no charge.
You never know. SARS may owe you some money!
I spoke to Linka on the phone last week, and, as I only need to get a new tax number, she said she would refer me to your Taxstatus company. Please can you advise.
Hi Arlene,
We will follow up with Linka and ask her or one of our consultants contact you.
