Tax implications on money earned from Foreign employment income

Written by Alicia
Posted 20 April 2016
I'm a South African with dual nationality (British). I send money to SA every month to pay off debt and to pay off my house in the Western Cape. Will there be a tax implication for this?

The money goes from my account here to my account there. Thanks
