Tax Emigration & Offshore Transfer Services

If you are planning to permanently leave South Africa, or have already relocated abroad, it is essential to formally cease your South African tax residency with SARS and ensure your funds can be transferred offshore legally and efficiently. Our Tax Emigration service provides a fully managed, end-to-end solution to guide you through this process with confidence and clarity.

We assist clients throughout the entire journey — from tax emigration and non-resident banking setup, to retirement fund withdrawals (where applicable), SARS approvals, and the transfer of funds abroad in full compliance with tax and exchange-control regulations.

Our service includes:

Formal tax emigration with SARS (cessation of South African tax residency)

Opening an emigration (non-resident) bank account

Assistance with the withdrawal of eligible Retirement Annuities (RAs)

Application for an AIT (Approval for International Transfer) PIN with SARS

Transfer of funds abroad, handled compliantly and cost-effectively

Fees & Payment terms

R8,000 (excluding VAT)

Where we assist with the withdrawal of Retirement Annuities, no upfront payment is required. Our fees are deducted once funds reflect in the relevant account.

Where no Retirement Annuity withdrawal is required, fees are payable upfront before the process begins.

Frequently Asked Questions

If we are assisting with the withdrawal of a Retirement Annuity (RA), no upfront payment is required. Our fee is deducted once the funds reflect in the account.
If no RA withdrawal is involved, the fee is payable upfront before the process begins.

Timelines depend largely on SARS processing times and the completeness of your documentation. On average, the tax emigration process can take several weeks to a few months.

Retirement Annuity withdrawals typically take 2 to 4 months, depending on the fund provider and SARS approval timelines.

Once tax emigration is finalised and the AIT (Approval for International Transfer) PIN has been issued, funds can be transferred abroad, subject to standard banking and compliance checks.

No. While we manage the process proactively and follow up where possible, final timelines are influenced by SARS, fund administrators, and banking processes, which are outside our direct control.
