Andy says: 5 February 2016 at 11:08 I am due to become a SA tax resident in the next tax year if I stay (not my intention to stay, but may become a SA tax resident due to physical presence test). I have income from Uk properties which is declared on my uk tax return and uk tax is paid. I still have some net income. Questions: 1. How is this noted on my SA tax return. Ie after uk tax is paid? Or before with a credit for tax paid? But will be paying tax twice? 2. Where is this to be put on the tax return? 3. When becoming a tax resident part way through a tax year, does the full years income taxed or from the date I become a sa tax resident? Many thanks for your help. |

TaxTim says: 5 February 2016 at 11:37 You will never be paying tax twice, you will begin paying tax from the moment you become a resident only and that income will be included in your tax return. You would include the rental income under the foreign income section, there is place there for a foreign tax credit as well. |

Andy says: 5 February 2016 at 12:06 Thanks. If understood correctly, then income is pro rata ed from the date resident? Is gross income or net income shown? If I show net income after expenses and tax, then the Residual income is taxed again in SA as its brought into taxable income and taxed at a marginal tax rate? So taxed again. If I lived in the UK I have already paid tax and its final? |

TaxTim says: 5 February 2016 at 13:19 If you show the net income, so after expenses and then there is a space for you to include the tax as well. SARS will work out how much tax is owed and deduct/offset the taxes already paid. |
