As a South African tax resident working abroad, you may be eligible for a tax exemption on your foreign employment income, provided certain conditions are met.

This exemption can offer significant relief, as it allows for up to R1.25 million of foreign income to be excluded from tax.

Any person who receives taxable income of more than R30 000 other than salary/remuneration (such as investment income, business profits, rental profit, etc.), would be considered as a provisional taxpayer.
