Tax on income earned in kuwait

Posted 25 January 2014

I a am South African working in Kuwait since 2004. I plan on returning to SA permanently very soon. Do I pay any tax on income earned here?

No you will not, provided you have not been back to South Africa for longer than 183 days in each year. You will, however, start paying tax on the income earned in SA when you come back to SA.
