Double Taxation Relief: South Africa and UK

Hi there, if I live and work in South Africa, but my employer is in England, and my salary goes directly into my Halifax account, will I be taxed twice, first in England and then again in South Africa?

Not HMRC...if you are statuorily tax resident in South Africa and not the UK then you should be completing Self Assement returns, claiming non UK tax residence, be on a NT code in the UK and be receiving your salary gross (no UK tax deducted) and be paying tax on it in South Africa only, via South African tax returns, the year you left the UK would ordinarily be split. If you are statutorily resident in both South Africa and the UK then you need to study the Double Taxation Agreement more fully (by reference to the employment section and Statutory Residence) as to has taxing rights based on your individual position.

Hi jonathan,
Your employer will likely automatically tax it at source in the UK if you have not applied for exemption - Tax on your UK income if you live abroad.
Thank you.
