Emigrating - Important financial, tax, and exchange control considerations
Presenters : Jonty Leon LLB, GTP(SA) , Maya Nikolova
Overview
According to a recent survey conducted by the Social Research Foundation in September 2022, 53% of university graduates aged 25 - 40 years, and 43% of those who earn more than R20 000 a month, may most likely consider leaving the country for greener pastures!
These statistics are being caused by the current negative socio-political climate that is filled with corruption, scandals, violence, high inflation and power cuts. But before making the big decision to emigrate, there are important financial, tax and exchange control considerations that one must carefully look at first.
