If emigrating from South Africa (and seeking advice on what allowances are available) clients have two routes they may consider:
- Utilising their annual discretionary allowance and annual foreign investment allowance.
- Making an application for transfers that will exceed the annual 11 million rand (or 22 million rand per couple).
Highlights of using ’emigration allowances’
- Annual Discretionary Allowance – R1 million per calender year per adult.
- Foreign Investment Allowance – R10 million per adult per calender year.
- Children’s allowance – R200,000 per calender year.
- Additional amounts – At the discretion of the reserve bank applications can be made for the transfer of additional amounts over and above the allowances.
