Could your foreign retirement funds soon be taxed in South Africa?
In this discussion, Delano Abdoll (Legal Manager: Cross-Border Taxation) and John-Paul Fraser (Team Lead: Cross-Border Taxation) unpack how SARS’ proposed removal of the foreign pension exemption could affect expatriates, returning residents, and high-net-worth individuals with offshore retirement funds.
