Cease to be a South African Tax Resident

Tax Emigration & Residency Status Change — R3,500 incl. VAT

Formally ceasing to be a South African tax resident is a significant step. SARS requires a well-motivated, properly evidenced declaration before it will change your residency status — and getting it wrong can lead to penalties, double taxation and years of unnecessary provisional tax filings.

At TaxAssist we manage the entire process on your behalf, from the initial assessment through to written confirmation when SARS updates your status.

What's Included

  • Initial residency assessment
  • Determination of the appropriate cessation date
  • Review of passport & foreign residence evidence
  • SARS declaration
  • Personalised motivation letter
  • RAV01 / residency-status submission
  • Supporting-document upload
  • Normal follow-up with SARS
  • Confirmation to you once SARS changes your status
