Tax liabilities on overseas inheritance?

Posted 30 November 2014

I got an inheritance overseas following my father passing away. What are my obligations to SARS regarding declaration, any possible tax liabilities etc.

There will not be any tax liabilities on the actual inheritance received. The estate itself will be paying tax on some of the assets held in the estate.
