Falling under the Tax Consulting SA Group umbrella and backed by 17 years’ experience.

South Africans with certain skillsets are in high demand overseas, while others are eager to immerse themselves in the international job pools to gain first-world experience. Whatever the incentive, many people are considering work opportunities abroad. This could be a lucrative decision, but job seekers seldom follow the correct procedures to ensure compliance with the South African Revenue Services (SARS), nor do they fully comprehend the implications on their personal tax. To understand why it might be better to cease your tax residency in South Africa, let’s look at what is meant by an individual’s tax residency status.

02/11/2026

Ceasing your South African tax residency is often a significant milestone, and for many South Africans abroad, it can feel like a daunting one.

John-Paul Fraser, Team Lead: Cross-Border Taxation, and Chrispos Seete, SARS Tax Compliance Specialist, understand the importance of this transition and are committed to making the experience as smooth as possible. Their dedication and attention to each client's circumstances help ease the burden of what can often feel like a complex undertaking, allowing clients to focus on the opportunities that lie ahead.

Moving abroad does not automatically close the door on your South African tax obligations.

Before deregistration can even be considered, your non-resident tax status must first be formalised with SARS, with any remaining South African income, assets and obligations taken into account.

Leaving the country was a major move, but resolving the tax administration that follows does not have to become another burden.

Living abroad may have changed where you call home, but has it changed how SARS views your tax position?

It is a question more expatriates are asking, or should be asking, regardless of how long they have been living outside South Africa.

The 2026 Filing Season deadline is 23 October 2026. If you are a South African living abroad, waiting until you need to address your SARS affairs could mean discovering compliance issues at the worst possible time.

A SARS Health Check can identify outstanding returns, penalties, unresolved matters and potential tax residency implications before they become obstacles.

This Filing Season gives you the opportunity to deal with them proactively.

File by 23 October and make sure your SARS profile is ready for what comes next: https://bit.ly/3MV66Dr

You have already made the decision to build your life outside South Africa. Now ask whether your South African tax affairs have caught up.

With the 2026 Filing Season underway, it is the right time to review your tax residency position rather than assume that living abroad has automatically resolved it.

If you qualify to cease your South African tax residency, assistance starts from R3,880.

Do not let another filing season pass with the same unanswered question: https://bit.ly/3MV66Dr

19/10/2026

The 2026 Filing Season is underway, but submitting your return should not be the end of your compliance check.

South Africans abroad should also consider whether their SARS profile is active, their personal and banking details are current, their previous returns are up to date and whether any SARS correspondence or outstanding balances require attention.

A SARS Health Check can provide the clarity needed to address these matters proactively.

Use Filing Season to bring your SARS affairs up to date before 23 October 2026: https://bit.ly/3MV66Dr

14/10/2026

If you have built a permanent life outside South Africa, leaving your South African tax residency unresolved may not be something to keep putting off.

The process deserves proper attention, but getting professional assistance does not have to be prohibitively expensive.

From R3,880, you can get professional assistance with formally ceasing your South African tax residency with SARS, where you qualify.

Sometimes the simplest decision is to finally deal with what has been left unfinished: https://bit.ly/4enesx7

International tax matters often come with important decisions and uncertainty around the correct course of action.

For many clients, the greatest value lies not only in reaching the desired outcome, but in having a team that takes the time to guide them through the process, answer their questions and address concerns along the way. Through their hands-on approach, Delano Abdoll, Legal Manager: Cross-Border Taxation, and Alex Mahundla, SARS Tax Compliance Specialist, work closely with taxpayers to provide support and direction throughout their international tax journey.

An inactive SARS tax number can create significant delays for South Africans living abroad, often when it matters most.

As featured in Tax Chronicles (Issue 97 | 2026), Alex Mahundla, SARS Compliance Specialist, and Rendani Makatu, Junior Tax Consultant, examine why dormant tax numbers remain one of the most common barriers to tax residency cessation and international fund transfers, and what expatriates should know before beginning the process.
