I Want to Transfer an Inheritance I Received
If you receive an inheritance from a South African estate while living overseas, there are two categories you will likely fall into:
You are temporarily living abroad.
You can use your single discretionary allowance if the inheritance is R 1 million or less
You can use your foreign investment allowance if the inheritance is over R 1 million and up to R 10 million.
From 1 March 2021, financial emigration has been replaced by a requirement to demonstrate being a non-tax-resident of South Africa and a resident of another country. We can assist with the process of ceasing to be a tax resident.
You have financially emigrated from South Africa (pre-March 2021) and are a non-resident of South Africa
Suppose you have completed formal financial emigration (before 1 March 2021) and are no longer considered a resident of South Africa. In that case, you will need to verify your financial emigration:
- You need to provide SARB with your reference number (ECA number), which you would have received from the bank you emigrated from.
- We can assist you in confirming your financial emigration status.
