While thousands of South Africans continue to emigrate and pursue alternative opportunities abroad, many elect to return home every year. In such cases, these inbound Saffas may find themselves re-appearing on the radar of the South African Revenue Service (SARS).

With various ‘push’ and ‘pull’ factors ranging from the high cost of living abroad, the ongoing conflicts in the Middle East and Ukraine, and being closer to family members and close friends in South Africa, many South African expats are returning home.

Where expats choose to return to South Africa, it is crucial that they proactively plan their repatriation and secure expert advice regarding their tax compliance, residency status, exchange control and estate planning before touching down.

By ensuring that their historic tax affairs are in order, and that they are prepared for potential SARS queries following their repatriation, South African expats can ensure a seamless recommencement of residency.
