I would too if I were a millionaire. What the point of paying tax when the service aren't being delivered? I would rather pay tax in a foreigner country as long as services are delivered to tax payers. We are paying for the likes of Edwin Sodi to live large.
I think the rich are more concerned about the fact that in South African tax tables they can have up to half their entire income taken from them as tax. They wouldn't care what is being done with tax money if they didn't have half their bank balance grabbed by the state.
I left SA in March 2024 for New Zealand. I was paying R500 000 in tax a year. I got absolutely no value for that money or any value since I started paying tax in 2009. Now I pay less tax and finally see something for the money I earn. A tax system should benifit everyone. That way it encourages everyone to contribute.
You forgot to mention that you also lost your soul in the process of that whole change from SA to NZ you were born in SA because you are needed in SA God is not stupid. You talk of SAs problems why aren't you part of the solution? Are you a coward maybe?
I'm trying to end my tax residency, but SARS appears to be highly incompetent. They are sitting over 2 years of my requrest to end my tax residency, with no feedback. I think they are trying to embezzel my pension fund to pay some cadre a sign-up bonus.
More will leave now that they talking about wealth tax, why should you pay tax when you have to find work elsewhere. The government is short sited instead of adding to the gdp, people working outside SA rather take their families out the country because the tax is too much to pay. Now their kids don't go to school, no gym contracts, no garden service, no eating out, all these jobs that are lost because of financial immigration.
The biggest challenge is this man calling me a European. Yes I am white but I am a white African. My son lives a better life overseas, as he was told he cannot get work here as he was to white and male. He has a degree and would be an asset to his mother country. But again he is to white and male. Until we overcome racial prejudice we will not develop as a nation. The meaning of racism 'prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism by an individual, community, or institution against a person or people on the basis of their membership of a particular racial or ethnic group, typically one that is a minority or marginalized.'

Bad governance, mismanagement, misuse and theft of the taxpayer's money, corruption and lawlessness are the main reason. I'm glad I don't have to pay SA taxes, yippee!!!
The answer is very simple.....people are sick and tired of paying taxes that are not being spent on improving infrastructure and the lives of the disadvantaged, but rather to enrich the thieving Politicians !!!!!!
Government has the capacity to reduce the security and stability issues as well. Remember, most of the people moving abroad are over 35s who are fathers and mothers too, so this impacts on future population growth.
Hard work in corporate is not appreciated in South Africa, one has to know someone, backstab someone, and be non-threatening to their less competent boss to move up whereas overseas you are rewarded for your efforts
The answer is simple and straightforward #Zuma the infrastructure champion and best leader South Africa ever had made something extraordinary which was named the emergence of black millionaires now it's plain and before everyone's eyes no confidence in South African leadership and it's current government.
The South African government's arrogance and decision to implement an expatriate tax demonstrates poor foresight and economic understanding. This policy has forced many South African citizens living abroad, including myself, to formally terminate their tax residency and relocate their assets overseas. Where I once regularly invested millions back into South Africa, I've now ceased all financial contributions. This shortsighted tax policy has resulted in significant capital flight, depriving the country of valuable foreign investment and economic growth opportunities. The government's attempt to generate additional tax revenue has ironically led to a substantial loss of foreign capital inflow.
I am in Europe and would love to come back but the issue of D&I prevents this as jobs are next to impossible to be if you are not black african or white Female. Prior to leaving, the culture was you are stuck in a position until you leave, its the same now in sour africa if not worse. Its so sad that i grew up and studied in south africa and am not able to contribute tongue economy and yet i am doing so in europe with them never investing my education. Racial policies in the work place was taken too far witht the backdrop of government requirements. Big Corporates are part of the blame here
Proudly South African here, Oh I just have to say that this is music to my ears, I wish more people will move into the direction of moving their tax residency. By 2030 they'll be trying to tax us even for farting...

He has no clue of history. He said that Germany implemented some policy in 1933. To those who don't know history, there was a certain moustached angry man leading Germany to war at the time. What BS is the selling.
As long government promotes wealth tax, financial collapse of Muncipalities, white monopoly money etc ,individuals will make other plans. Job objectives are also more attractive elsewhere and being tax3s also on that income will lead to full immigration.
In the United States many companies get major tax breaks and loans for hiring the poor. But as as soon as the companies get the money they look for reasons to fire those same people they got paid to hire. Then look for another poor employee to get the same tax break. So they never pay for most of their staff. Many wealthy people get tax breaks on every dime they spend. Even on high ticket items like luxury cars, Beach front land, and jewelry. The true tax payer are paying for everything with no tax breaks. It's a wicked game.
SA should invest in real growth here by investing in real talent and not friends and family who waste he money and don't know what to do with the money. The best and most innovative people wont qualify with the banks so they are lost and the ones who study have no clue about real entrepreneurship. Government policy is done by clueless people so its not on the right track. Look at the entertainment sector for example. You have a Grammy winning artist who ow Sars millions. Success should not be the goal without proper development and growth. The wrong people are in the right positions so it will flop.
Tax is not used properly in SA. Look at Eskom , the state of our govenrment hospitals, the crime rate, the mismanagement of water , inefficiency of the police force and so on.
Even though those ZEP Zimbabweans pay little in tax compared to the Ultra Wealthy, I see keeping those one of benefit than losing their tax in 2026 as well. Most work desperately very hard that replacing them with locals may see some companies close down. That's my 2 cents
Most of those tax payers were created by the old government. Still waiting to see how many were created by ANC.they created new post. Mnakwethu and sithembu never encountered encourage young one to study for better life. But encouraged them to look good to attract wealthy married man
our country is going backwards fast. High taxes with no meaningful service delivery or infrastructure development or maintenance. It's all corruption and ineptitude from cadre deployment. You get so little from government for the taxes you must pay. No foreign investment coming into our country either. That's why the wealthy and educated are leaving in their masses! It's so difficult to grow and foster wealth in SA, I don't blame them. Life is only going to get even harder while Cyril sleeps.
@@gregwochlik9233 Sorry, I commented before getting to the end of the video. The guy being interviewed started off OK, then went down the typical rabbit-hole of wanting MORE state intervention.

I deleted my comment because the sarcasm you mentioned became very obvious :) My apologies @Romanmsone32
All tax NOT spent to bennefit South African citizens, is by definition the property of those who paid that tax. If they do not get it, then by definition that is theft via governmental dishonesty. How much people earn is NOT an issue, but how much money is NOT spent on S,A, infrastructure to the benefit of its citizens, is a VERY GREAT issue as wel as the cause of poverty. Mis spent tax is a crime that needs jail time.
This flight of currency has been exacerbated since we had Ramaphosa as our president, it's sad to watch how they expect to afford while the poor don't, can't wait for that day 😅
