Frequently Asked Questions
What is tax emigration?
Tax emigration is the formal process of ceasing your South African tax residency. It is managed through SARS and allows you to access your SA retirement annuity after 3 years of non-residency.
How long does the process take?
The full tax emigration process typically takes 3-6 months, depending on SARS processing times and the complexity of your tax affairs.
Can I access my RA before age 55?
Yes - once you have been a non-resident for at least 3 consecutive years (the '3-year rule'), you can access your SA retirement annuity regardless of your age.
Do I still need to submit SA tax returns?
After completing tax emigration, you only need to submit a SA tax return if you have South African-sourced income (rental, interest, dividends, etc.).
