Are we liable for SA tax on UK interest and rental income ?
By Marc Sevitz · Updated
If it is, how do I prove my income as the UK tax year runs from 6 April to 5 April . Would a copy of my UK tax return be sufficient proof of income? Would I need to worry about the date overlap ?
My husband is not working here either, he is a UK citizen and on a visitors visa. Is he liable for SA tax ?
How long have you been in South Africa for?
We've been here without a break for 3 years
Technically you are not yet a tax resident of South Africa as you have not met the resident definition, however do you intend on making South Africa your permanent home?
Yes, we bought a house here 3 years ago and we plan on making this our home provided that my husband can get permanent residence.
Well until your husband gets permanent residence and you have officially decided that South Africa will be your home, in which case you state that you are now a resident of South Africa for tax purposes, the tests of residency will apply to you in determining your tax status. Am I a tax resident of South Africa?
