    We’ll Answer Your Questions Before You Ask Them

    Did we miss any? Don’t hesitate to email us for more information!

    Do I need an Approval International Transfer (AIT) pin for moving funds abroad?

    A: As a non-resident you will need an AIT pin from cent one. However, if you have not yet ceased your tax residency status and are still noted as a tax resident you do not require an AIT for any transactions below R1 million.Would you like me to explain any further?

    A: No, ceasing your tax residency does not affect your South African citizenship or permanent residency. Likewise, surrendering South African citizenship does not automatically change your tax residency status. SARS will not recognise your client’s non-residency status until it’s officially declared.

    A: You may still receive your South African inheritance; however, you will need to have obtained your non-residency confirmation letter to be able to access the funds. Can I help you obtain one?

    A: Yes, to evidence your non-residency status, you will need to obtain a non-resident confirmation letter. Can I help you obtain one?

    Yes help me obtain one
