Hanna says: 8 June 2015 at 13:28 My brother in law is a UK citizen, and wishes to gift his brother, my husband, a sum equal to R1.2 million rand. My husband is not South African, but a permanent resident here. It is his wish then to pay our mortgage bond here in SA with that money. What are the tax implications if any? The bond is registered in my name only. Do we have to declare the money? |
