Understanding and navigating tax laws in a new country is particularly challenging. Expatriates taking up employment in South Africa (“SA”) and their employers may be subject to income-tax, employees’ tax, and social security related regulations.

At SNG GT, the tax implications of movements of employees at all levels are considered by a multi-disciplined team. Considerations will generally include whether a Permanent Establishment (“PE”) will be created by the employee, Corporate Tax and Value-Added-Tax implications, implications for the affected employee and implications for the employer.

The SNG Grant Thornton Employees’ Tax and Global Mobility Services team can assist expatriates and their employers with a clear and easy process aimed at avoiding confusion and uncertainty in unfamiliar territory.
