I however started trading different gift card codes in the US and UK online for bitcoins and have made a lot of profit in the last 8 months(well over R100k). These funds were in bitcoins which I later withdrew to my Absa account. Do I need to declare tax on these earnings as I am a non resident. |

Tariro said: 7 December 2016 at 8:28 Last question, does this mean I have to pay provisional tax on this income as it is not taxed before I receive it? |
