Non Resident Tax implications on rental income property in South Africa?
By Marc Sevitz · Updated
I am non resident south African citizen working off shore for the past couple of years, I own various properties in south Africa, two of which generates rental income, however I still owe bonds on it, and currently renovating one of these properties, can I claim back the taxes paid on the renovations as well as the architects fees
Are you referring to the VAT on the invoices?
yes I am talking about the tax on the building material etc, or the consultants, architects fees
Thank you
Thank you
Unfortunately you cannot claim VAT on these amounts as you are not a VAT registered individual or entity making use of the costs to make your own items or services to sell which VAT can be charged. Rental Income on residential property is not Vatable. .
