Assisting you with your journey towards your financial freedom, our passionate tax team can stand in the gap to represent you at the South African Revenue Service.

Do you qualify for a South African tax refund?

Want to know more? Here is how it works: If you were paid a lump sum from South Africa while living abroad and was taxed in South Africa, you could qualify for a tax refund. We are talking about a single payment received from a South African Retirement Annuity, Pension fund, Provident fund and/ or Preservation fund.

It does not matter if you withdrew or retired from the fund, as long as you received your lump sum whilst living in a foreign country and paid taxes to SARS, you could qualify for our unique South African tax refund service.

The factors considered and applied in determining if you are eligible for a tax refund are:

• Step 1: You must be residing in a qualifying country** outside South Africa
• Step 2: You must have received your lump sum whilst living abroad
• Step 3: You must have received a lump sum from a qualifying fund
• Step 4: You must have paid tax in excess of R40,000
