Out of country work how does taxation work?

I work offshore and get paid into my FNB account. I am away for more than 180 days of the year and one or more of my trips are more than 60 consecutive days out of country so I know I am eligible for seamans tax (or whatever it is called). Can you program take that into account or should I continue to use a taxman?

Yes we can, either way you will need to submit supporting documents to SARS, but we can assist with that if they require. You would answer the question under our "Amounts not considered taxable" for this income earned.
