They may not approve of this, but then if you pay any tax in Mauritius then you can deduct this tax against any taxes owing in SA. |
Neo says: 3 February 2015 at 8:21 Thank you TaxTim, In the case that the Mauritius company does take PAYE, what documents would I need to submit to SARS to prove there was tax withheld in Mauritius? Would I use the average exchange rate, or exchange rate at year end when submitting income to SARS? and which source does SARS accept to calculate the exchange rate? (Oanda?). |
TaxTim says: 4 February 2015 at 8:14 They should provide you with payslips or a year end certificate, ask the company or the revenue services there to generate a certificate, they will know what procedure to follow. SARS has it's own average exchange rates, but if the money was paid into your SA bank account then you can use the Rand Equivalent. |
