South Africans in hot water with SARS over foreign bank accounts

July 16, 2015

The South African Revenue service has recently identified South Africans who use overseas bank accounts for tax evasion and urged these individuals to come clean.

More than 500 South Africans were among the 100 000 individuals ousted by the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists in February 2015 for stashing away more than R1,1-trillion at HSBC in Switzerland. Though it is not against South African law to hold a Swiss Bank account, it is believed that some accountholders have used these accounts to dodge international tax obligations.
