The South African Revenue Service (SARS) is planning on imposing additional tax in South Africa on South Africans working abroad and earning a tax-free or low tax income.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>SARS wants to amend Section\u00a010(1)(o)(ii) of the Income Tax Act, 1962 (Act No.\u00a058 of 1962), which determines that citizens working abroad are remitted from paying tax, in order to generate more income for the revenue office and the state. If you are categorised within South Africa\u2019s highest tax scale of 45%, but are already paying tax on 20% of your salary, SARS wants to recover the outstanding 25% from you as from 1\u00a0March\u00a02019.<\/p>\n<p>Give AfriBusiness your mandate to oppose this amendment of the Income Tax Act by signing the petition below.
