SARS is worried about the ex Pats leaving SA but SARS is not worried about the people getting tenders from government for millions of Rands and not paying taxes on that money received. We have hard working people in SA that pays Taxes, but dont get proper Service Delivery from our government sectors......SARS must first get their home in order in SA before target people abroad......
That's a good question, have no idea why they like to demand money but nothing ever changes and yet the prices keep going up, future isn't looking good for South Africa.
Sars should not be worried about expats leaving RSA,more job creation and employment opportunities for locals,left a few months back but am still called to help via video calls or phone's calls,expat means legit foreign national workers right
I dont understand why you still need to pay taxes when you do not live in this country...give me a break, we dont see our taxes at work...except when politicians and their chommies live lives of the ridiculously rich and fabulous WITH OUR TAX MONEY!!!
Even then there should be a limit to the percentage a government takes from it's people, like 15% max. It's not easy to earn R1M+ a year, but the government will take 40% of that without even blinking. People should've never allowed that.
This is absolute crap! I have been trying to find work since 2020... I have seen jobs I applied for being given to people LESS skilled than I am... I'm planning to emigrate to find work. SARS doesn't deserve a cent of my foreign earned income if the country could not provide the job!
UNLESS you are earning a salary and paying tax in a country that has signed a double taxation agreement with SA that avoid you being taxed twice if you have proof of your paid tax in the host country.
This guy doesn't strike me as someone who would fight for you. He seems to gloat about the legalised theft SARS perpetrates in what has become a two-tiered justice system. I wouldn't go near him
I woul never touch money that has been under the matrass, who knows what Cyril was doing on that thing with the Ankoles. No wonder he's such a bullshitter.
It blows my mind how much they keep coming up with new innovative ways to COLLECT tax but nothing on how to effectively control the expenditure! I just cant wrap my head around it!
Is it possible for a South African to completely renounce and get rid of any South African citizenship after imigrating and becoming a citizen of a different country ? One would like to completely rid of sheer audacity. The cheeck to not let go when you want a divorce. Never asking for marriage in the first place, but born into it.
You can have SARS mark you as a non-tax resident, but if you want to renounce your citizenship, "simply" get another citizenship. South Africa doesn't need you to renounce officially as any grant of another citizenship will invalidate your South African one unless you apply to Home Affairs for dual citizenship.
I remember when I left South Africa 5 years ago for the United States thinking I wouldn't have to deal with the crap I deal with here only to find out just how good I had it back home. As I type this I have just sold my house and belongings and moving back home. South Africans don't know how good that they have it and I'm gonna tell them when I get back.
To be honest, l do not care about this, l don't care about SARS or anything about this looting government. Enjoying Australia and contributing to the economy here, with rental income from South Africa of course. . .
I can just Bank of Austria telling them to F-off. We have serious privacy laws here. You can't just ask for people's information. Even the government can't excess my information without a court order with good reason.
They are quick to ensure that we pay taxes, and also quick to steal and mishandle it. We, as taxpayers should have a say to how the government spends our hard-earned cash.
Total rubbish. Counties have tax agreements which very specifically states that only the country where you are domiciled can tax you. The standard tax agreements between countries are pretty much the same, based on a standard UN format. So, I live in NZ, and if SARS want to tax me, the agreement states that the issue must be resolved between the governments, i.e. Minters of Finance or the directors of the the counties' tax collection agencies. This scaremongery only applies to SA citizens that work for periods outside SA but is "domicile" in SA. And, last I looked, if those people spend more than 183 days outside SA, no income has to be declared to SARS. But, if the country you're working in, and has a tax agreement with SA, you pay tax to that country, not SA. Easy.
I'm wandering about one thing I would like to buy a house in South Africa Johannesburg what will be the formalities knowing that I'm none south African.
Nobody likes the Tax Man. I know of a British Expat who worked in Canada on a work permit and who, after a couple of years, returned to the UK. Whatever happened he did not finalize his Tax with Canada Revenue before leaving. He came to Canada again after 6 or 7 years on a skiing holiday with his family and was arrested at Customs and held until he settled the amount owing. So it is not just S. Africa. All the tax offices speak to one another. Tax now is supranational. Whatever you think you cannot ignore these people. They will come and get you.
Actually when you leave the country you suppose to declare to the Reserve Bank and sign documents at your Bank at the Forex Dept in your bank I used to work in the bank

Taxi bosses, taverns, spasa shops don't pay tax.
I live and work in the UK and will never pay taxes to the criminal anc cnuts
Good for you
I don't have a problem with TAX, it's the fact that we don't see anything for it in this country.
AGREED..RETURN ALL THE STOLEN , LOOTED MONEY FIRST. IMPROVE THE KAK SERVICES, SECURITY TOO. THEN ASK FOR TAXES.
Mee too...
And the non tax payers burn everything down when they not happy

does sars long arm extends to dubai also because there is so much money going there from sa politisions
🤣 SARS is that ex that wouldn't let go
But sleeps with someone that abuses them at the same time. Anc...the hypocrisy of this government
@@stephenjohnpersarth7455 😂 oh man that's funny 🤣🤣🤣 ANC is really the abusive makhwapheni.
This part 😂😂😂
So only the ANC is allowed to not pay tax?
I think they are exempt, or exempted themselves. SARS can't touch the ANC, but the ANC can touch SARS.
And the taxis....
This is absolute crap! I have been trying to find work since 2020... I have seen jobs I applied for being given to people LESS skilled than I am... I'm planning to emigrate to find work. SARS doesn't deserve a cent of my foreign earned income if the country could not provide the job!
This is daylight robbery 😳

We have to contribute to those in politics who only knows how to loot n not having to do anything beneficial to the community
But yet SARS are afraid to lay charges against Zuma Guptas and ramaphosa and rest of the gang.

Yes, please tell us. I'm looking to move to the US, but I'm still weighing my options.

Well done. F sarse
They need the moola to keep the gravy train going. Who is going to pay for Nkandla and those expensive buffalos?
nice one
If that's the case go get our money from the guptas. That money belongs to all south africans
RETURN ALL THE STOLEN , LOOTED MONEY FIRST. IMPROVE THE KAK SERVICES, SECURITY TOO. THEN ASK FOR TAXES.
So what about our President Mr Ramaphosa, does he not have to declare his dollars, because it's incoming.
how can the head honcho declare he is the boss
That is why they tax even pensioners
I can just Bank of Austria telling them to F-off. We have serious privacy laws here. You can't just ask for people's information. Even the government can't excess my information without a court order with good reason.

Sars OWS me, South Africa dont have the resources half the time they dont even have electricity to do SH!T
Why does SARS act as if it's so easy to Emigrate? Surely SARS well knows the state of the country? People Don't have money...
"Can lead to criminal prosecution". They cannot prosecute a successful bowel movement. An interview starring Tweedledum and Tweedledof.

They actually they have to declare their are Non Residents
Phala phala strategy move money with future via the border house
Ek smag na die dag wat ek SARS in sy moet kan stuur.
THIS IS INSANE!
One item I know of 600 million rand with no tax paid on it 🙄
This is typical South African government
Singing for his dinner
This "tax expert" does not give specific answers, particularly on the last question.
Cyrils dollars
Viva ANC....
The politicians in our country get the blue light brigade, and we the citizenry get SARS.
Mamete makeke mokwane head of sars it,say no more
Yah sure he will . 😅😅
Lol over my dead body!
😂😂
This guy's knows nothing about tax
Wait, so Immigration is bad both ways, what 😂😂
You made your wealth here in South Africa and you'll leave them here, start your future from the scratch abroad not with SA Rands.
That is ludicrous and the state does not confiscate your bank account because of your emigration status.
