Cruise Ship Work?



I work on a cruise ship and get paid in US Dollars. I am only in south africa probably 8-10 weeks a year. Do I have to declare that foreign income and pay tax on it? also if I want to buy property here how will that impact me on a taxation basis?

There will not be any tax paid on the amounts earned as you are exempt from tax due to your work and number of days outside SA. You can freely buy a property with no tax implications.
