Tax Support for Non-Residents

If you’re earning income from property or investments in South Africa, it’s important to understand how local tax laws apply. As a non-resident, you won’t be taxed on your global income - only on income and capital gains sourced within South Africa, such as rent, interest, or the sale of property.

South Africa’s tax system can be complex, and your obligations may differ depending on your home country’s tax agreements with South Africa. Thankfully, many countries have double taxation treaties in place to prevent you from being taxed twice on the same income.

To help you navigate all of this with confidence, we connect you with trusted tax professionals who specialise in non-resident tax matters - ensuring you remain compliant and well-informed.
