Since the concept of formal emigration, as administered by the South African Reserve Bank, had been phased out, tax practitioners had faced uncertainty, misleading guidance, fear-mongering newspaper articles, and often very annoyed and frustrated clients.

Overview

Since the concept of formal emigration, as administered by the South African Reserve Bank, had been phased out, tax practitioners had faced uncertainty, misleading guidance, fear-mongering newspaper articles, and often very annoyed and frustrated clients. For some banks and certain service providers, including retirement fund managers, it had been like a broken record: 'Provide evidence of financial emigration before we classify you as a non-resident.' This webinar sought practical solutions and addressed the confusion within SARB, ADs (banks), and SARS. Practical workarounds were considered and discussed.

Hugo van Zyl

Hugo is an experienced trainer, lecturer and "go-to" industry specialist. It comes as no surprise that SARS appointed him to lecture on capital gains tax and worldwide taxation based on residency. In the last six years, he has presented at least once a quarter, for anyone of the many professional bodies he belongs to. Based in Cape Town, he is proudly South African yet holds a United Emirates Residency permit, because of his UAE registered practice aimed at expats. Hugo's client base is global, includes intermediary firms, local and international financial institutions and often the powers to be at the professional regulatory bodies he belongs to.
