Listen "Is it harder to invest money offshore?"

Episode Synopsis

On 24 April 2023, seemingly out of the blue, SARS updated its "Manage Your Compliance Status” webpage and announced a “new enhanced” TCS application form. This meant that a South African who was wishing to invest more than R1 million offshore would have to follow the same financial audit process as a person applying for a tax non-resident status. In this podcast Maya speaks to Thomas Lobbin, head of Cross-Border Taxation at Tax Consulting South Africa to understand what this means for investors and why SARS has taken this approach.
