Do you have to pay SA tax on joint pension of - R60,000 (R30k each)?

Posted 26 August 2013

My husband and myself receive a British pension each. Not a full pension, something like R60,000 a year between us. Do we have to pay south African tax on it?
Thanks
Molly

You do not need to pay income tax on foreign pensions, they are exempt from SA income tax.
