Webinar: Exchange Control Changes – Estate Planning and the Dispersed Family 2021
Presenters : Hugo van Zyl
Overview
The 2021 relaxation in exchange control regulations impacts all South Africans, whether they reside in South Africa or are living abroad as expats. Does this mean that exchange control regulations can now be disregarded, or do the new rules create more uncertainty?
Course content
Now that formal emigration (also known as financial emigration) is no longer an option, will expat children be able to receive their South African inheritances as cash transfers to their new home country? With so many expats and dispersed South Africans, estate planners; tax accountants; executors and financial planners need to know how to deal with exchange control when residents inherit foreign funds from local or foreign estates. There are indeed different South African Reserve Bank exchange control rules, and a pre-legacy is a gift. South Africans receiving foreign gifts and winning foreign lotteries remain subject to even more restrictive rules.
Finally, the relaxation of so-called loop rules did not allow the "free for all" as expected. The loop reporting rules and anti-avoidance tax rules have left many families planning internationalisationor cross-border expansion with their hands in their hair. Where to start and how to legally protect the related shareholders residing offshore?
Hugo van Zyl, Master Tax Practitioner (SA) TEP CA(SA), will unpack new post and pre-event capital flow monitoring rules that are slowly but surely replacing the exchange control rules as we've known them for so many years.
