Declaration of income earned overseas after I leave SA
By Evan Robinson · Updated
I will be leaving SA next month to work in Canada for the foreseeable future. I would have been out if the country for more than 183 days by the end of Feb 2016. I will have an IRP 5 with a salaried income in SA until the end of July 2015.
When I file my tax return next year, do I have to include the overseas income earned from August 2015 to February 2016? I do understand that I should not be liable to be taxed on the overseas income but would prefer not to declare it at all if that would be allowed.

Do you intend returning to South Africa at all once you have left? Are you working for an SA company?
I might return but not for at least 4-5 years. I am not emigrating financially but may in the future choose to do so. I will not be working for a SA company - In Canada I will be registering a professional corporation and pay myself a salary from my own corporation.
