“Expat” tax has become the buzz word when talking about the taxation of individuals working abroad. Many taxpayers are wondering what opportunities await them outside of South Africa, and what the tax implications would be if they decide to spread their wings. This course is the second in our two-part tax residency series, and aims to clarify the tax treatment of the income of taxpayers working abroad – whether they remain tax resident or not. Please note that while these courses are presented as a series of related matters, they cannot be booked as a bundle and bookings are to be made for each course on its own. DISCLAIMER: Neither ProBeta Training nor the presenter is registered as a tax practitioner, and the purpose of this course is to convey important legislative and practice information that relate to the matters covered in the content. We do not hold any of the information in our courses out to be formal or expert tax advice or opinions. Please take note that tax residency remains a highly specialised field, and it is advised that formal advice be obtained from a tax advisor or practitioner before making a final decision on your tax affairs.
