Are your clients aware that the “Emigration” TCS pin and the “Foreign Investment Allowance” TCS Pin to have been consolidated to create the new “Approval for International Transfer” (AIT) TCS Pin, and do they understand how this works?

SARS’ new Tax Compliance Status process and AIT PIN have made facilitating financial emigration much more challenging. 

As the AIT PIN is now the go-to requirement for obtaining approval to transfer funds out of South Africa, it’s imperative that tax practitioners understand how to navigate the process within eFiling. If your client is a tax resident seeking to transfer more than R1 million out of the country in a calendar year, they will need an AIT pin. Similarly, if your client has ceased their tax residency, they will require an AIT pin for every amount they intend to transfer out of South Africa in a calendar year. 

Partners within PPN have specialised in understanding the complexities of the new AIT process and can assist in making the entire process of transferring funds out of the country easier.

What steps do you take when your client’s VAT refund is delayed? We can help you avoid a frustrated client awaiting their VAT refund pay out.

As you know, SARS performs extensive checks and balances and follows due process when confirming the correctness of all VAT claims, before simply paying them out. However, you can avoid long-drawn-out verification processes by seeking the assistance of a tax lawyer.

There are three instances which we have noted that result in unpaid VAT refunds after the filing of a VAT return, being:

• SARS disallows your client’s input VAT claim;
• SARS puts your client through the verification process, requesting certain documentation and a VAT schedule, which your client then provides, and then thereafter hears nothing from SARS as to the payment of the refund; and
• The credit sits on your client’s statement of account and no refund is received.

There are often no adequate reasons given by SARS for the delay in the refund being processed, when this happens, you and your client may have no alternative but to take appropriate legal steps to obtain the refund legally due to them. Our partners can assist you in navigating this challenging landscape and getting your client’s VAT refund finalised and paid out.

Our network understands the significance of financial emigration for South Africans residing abroad. It is a crucial process that formalizes their non-resident tax status, serving both tax and exchange control purposes.

However, recent amendments to the financial emigration process have made it more challenging to cease tax residency. SARS has implemented stricter measures, demanding thorough proof of non-resident status.

Through our Partner Network, you can guarantee your clients’ non-tax residency through SARS. This not only shields them from any implications but also ensures that their foreign-earned income remains tax-exempt in South Africa.
