Living Abroad - nil return
By Marc Sevitz · Updated
I have been working abroad for 2/3years in April, and was unaware I had to submit a nil tax return to SARS. I logged on and received a notice dated (current date - day of login)
Could you please confirm, I am not a provisional tax payer - do I have to file a nil tax return if no income in RSA
Also, what are the penalties for a late submisison of tax return (zero to pay)
How long to I continue to submit nil tax returns, or can you de-register?

It would be best to submit a nil tax return in the event that you do come back to SA or earn income in the future. You won't be subject to penalties for late submission.
