Valuable conversations, new connections, and shared perspectives in Johannesburg!

As the “Hexagon Regional Mining Forum Johannesburg” comes to a close, Tax Consulting Africa is pleased to have been part of an event that brought mining professionals and industry leaders together to connect and exchange ideas.

The conversations and connections made reinforced the importance of considering the people behind cross-border mining operations, the tax positions, mobility, as well as compliance requirements that companies must manage to deploy their skilled talent across Africa.

Managing employees across borders comes with complex tax considerations. Speak to the Tax Consulting Africa team about managing expatriate and international tax across Africa: https://bit.ly/3Nlshmt

Spotted in Sawubona Magazine!

Tax Consulting Africa is proud to be featured in Sawubona, putting an important question in front of professionals working across borders: are you still paying SARS when your international tax position could be optimised?

For South Africans working internationally, understanding your full tax position is critical to protecting your earnings, remaining compliant, and making informed decisions about your financial future.

Simply relying on advice focused on claiming the foreign employment income exemption may mean that your full range of options has not been considered. Your circumstances may require a broader review of tax residency, applicable Double Tax Agreements, exemptions, credits and other planning opportunities.

Make sure you speak to tax experts with years of experience and a proven track record of successfully dealing with SARS. The right advice is not only about reducing tax, it is about achieving the best possible outcome while remaining compliant.

Working internationally? Get in contact with the experts and make sure your South African tax position has been properly considered.

You have paid tax in South Africa on foreign income for years. Now you are considering backdating your tax non-residency.

The question is simple: will SARS refund what has already been paid? The answer depends on many factors, including the effective date of cessation, the application of relevant tax rules, and whether relief applications such as DTAs apply. In some cases, refunds may be possible. In others, the outcome is more complex than expected.

If you have been taxed in more than one jurisdiction, your position may need to be reassessed. Contact us to review your tax residency status: https://bit.ly/3OW14r8

You have been earning income abroad for years. Your tax returns were submitted. Foreign income was not declared. Is it too late to rely on a Double Taxation Agreement (DTA)?

In many cases, relief may still be available, even if past filings were incorrect or incomplete. However, this depends on how the correction is approached and whether the relevant treaty provisions are properly applied.

Stefan relocated to Mozambique several years ago as a project manager.

He assumed that long‑term residence abroad would automatically end his South African tax residency. Yet residency is determined through formal tests and must be confirmed by the South African Revenue Service. Without this confirmation, he remains taxable in South Africa on income earned in Mozambique.

If your circumstances have changed, it may be appropriate to revisit your residency position: https://bit.ly/3Nlshmt

Mark is a senior engineer on a long‑term project in Mauritius.

He believed that relocating abroad would automatically change his South African tax residency. However, residency only changes through a formal cessation process supported by objective proof, which he never completed. As a result, he continues to be taxed in South Africa on income earned solely in Mauritius.

It may be worthwhile to explore whether your residency status aligns with your intentions: https://bit.ly/3Nlshmt

A tax rebate is not simply about submitting a return. It requires a detailed review of your tax affairs, a technical assessment of prior assessments, the correct application of tax legislation, and, where necessary, engagement with the South African Revenue Service to ensure every legitimate rebate is secured.

Following our assistance with a tax rebate covering a three-year tax period, this client recognised Lambert and the team's professionalism and commitment to achieving the best possible outcome.

Pieter manages logistics at a mining site in Mozambique. He assumed that tax withheld in Mozambique would automatically reduce his South African liability.

In reality, relief under a Double Taxation Agreement is never automatic and requires evidence of residency status, income source, and correct supporting records. Without this, he remains fully taxable in South Africa and at risk of retrospective adjustments.

A detailed review may help you determine whether your position has been structured correctly: https://bit.ly/3Nlshmt
