SARS puts a spanner in the works for South Africans who want to leave the country

South Africans seeking to leave the country are facing unexpected hurdles due to a renewed focus on overall compliance status by the South African Revenue Service (SARS). Taxpayers who meet the requirements for non-resident status are being held up by unresolved compliance issues on their SARS profiles, leaving many stuck in limbo. This shift in approach has significant implications for those looking to relocate, highlighting the need for individuals to ensure their tax affairs are in order before making any changes.
