Foreign Investment Allowance Explained

A taxpayer in good standing and over 18 years old can invest up to R10 million in their own name outside the Common Monetary Area (CMA-Lesotho, Swaziland and Namibia) per calendar year. 

The taxpayer must obtain an AIT(Approval of International Transfers)  from SARS, valid for 12 months. 

These funds may not be reinvested into the CMA countries, thereby creating a loop structure or being re-introduced as a loan to a CMA resident.
