Our expert team, led by Rudi Stander, helps beneficiaries like you navigate the complex financial and regulatory processes to transfer inheritance funds overseas efficiently and securely.

Understanding Your Inheritance Transfer Options

For Those Who Have Completed Tax Emigration

If you’ve already completed financial emigration with the South African Reserve Bank (before 1 March 2021) or tax emigration through SARS (after 1 March 2021), we can assist you in transferring your inheritance abroad immediately. Our team will guide you through the process, ensuring all necessary documentation is in order for a smooth transfer.

For those who haven’t previously been tax residents in South Africa, we’ll help you establish a non- resident bank account to facilitate your inheritance transfer efficiently.

For Those Who Haven’t Completed Tax Emigration

If you haven’t completed formal tax emigration but have the required documents (green barcoded ID book or smart ID card and a valid tax number), we can help you open a South African bank account to receive your inheritance. The process varies depending on the inheritance amount:

​

  • For inheritances under R1 million: Transfer the full amount without needing an Approval International Transfer (AIT) from SARS

  • For inheritances exceeding R1 million: We’ll assist you in obtaining an AIT to transfer the balance efficiently

Solutions Without a Barcoded ID Book

Don’t have a barcoded ID book? We can still help. If you meet certain criteria set by SARS, we can assist you in opening a non-resident bank account to receive your inheritance without completing the full tax emigration process. For those who don’t meet these requirements, we’ll guide you through the tax emigration process to ensure you can access your funds.

Understanding Inheritance Tax

​

You won’t face additional taxation on your South African inheritance once it has been paid out.

​

Any applicable taxes on the estate will have already been settled by the executor, allowing you to receive your funds tax-free.

​

Our team will ensure you understand all financial implications and help you plan accordingly
