Personal & Individual Tax Return Types

Normal Taxpayer – South Africans Working Locally

This category encompasses individuals who reside in South Africa and earn income from local sources.

These taxpayers are obligated to pay taxes on their worldwide income. However, they may qualify for various exemptions or deductions depending on their specific circumstances.

Provisional Tax Payer

This category includes individuals who are either becoming tax residents of South Africa, in the process of leaving the country, or business owners.

Provisional taxpayers are required to file provisional tax returns and pay provisional tax based on their estimated taxable income for the year. This applies to those with income not subject to regular PAYE (Pay As You Earn) deductions, such as business owners, freelancers, and individuals with rental or investment income.

South Africans Working Internationally

This category includes South African citizens or residents who spend part of the year working abroad.

They are required to pay taxes on their worldwide income. However, depending on their specific circumstances, they may qualify for various exemptions or deductions, which can help reduce their overall tax liability. This ensures that they are not taxed twice on the same income by both South Africa and the country in which they are working.

FOREIGN NATIONALS IN SOUTH AFRICA

This category includes individuals who are not South African citizens but are residing and working in South Africa.

Foreign nationals are required to pay taxes on their income earned within South Africa. Depending on their specific circumstances and any applicable international tax treaties, they may also qualify for certain exemptions or deductions. This helps ensure fair taxation and avoids double taxation on income earned in South Africa.
