1 HOW TO EFFECTIVELY MANAGE EXPATRIATE PAYROLLS? 6 September 2017 [Shohana Mohan, Johannesburg South Africa] 1
2 LET S TEST YOUR KNOWLEDGE ON EXPATRIATE TAX What does an expatriate mean? A a person who lives and works outside their native country B a person who lives and works in his or her native country C a person who transfers or sends money abroad For a South African national temporarily working outside South Africa, is he or she still required to contribute toward the UIF? A Yes B No What is the difference between a tax resident and nontax resident? 2
3 WHAT ARE WE SEEING MORE OF IN THE TAX SPACE? Regulatory compliance Promotion of tax compliance through a network of tax justice Working Groups OECD / AEoI Increase in audit activity Regulation of tax practitioners regulatory bodies propensity to engage in unethical behavior reduced TAA Tax and related defaults forming part of the boardroom agenda Cross-border activity on the rise AFRICA and other popular assignment destinations 3
4 THE PAYROLL PROCESS Significant challenge relating to communication (business case demands) Payroll, Finance and Human Resources should be a combined effort to streamline the payroll service offering Results in unclear / inconsistent treatment of inbound/outbound employees Ripple effect impact on encouraging mobility among assignees Compliance risk home & host locations Closing the gap 4
5 SOME EXPATRIATE TAX BASICS RESIDENT Worldwide income SA sourced income Tax base TO NON- RESIDENT RESIDENTS = Worldwide NON-RESIDENTS = SA sourced 5
6 WHO IS A TAX RESIDENT? Physical presence resident (inbound) > 91 days in current year > 91 days in 5 preceding years Aggregate of 915 days in five preceding years of assessment Not exclusively a resident of the home country in terms of the application of the DTA between SA and the other country (annual test) Ordinarily resident - Subjective test based on objective factors - Place a person would naturally and as a matter of course return to from wanderings 6
7 PHYSICAL PRESENCE RESIDENCE TEST 7
8 SOME OF THE KEY TAX CHALLENGES Trailing liabilities Social security mandatory? Who is liable to pay tax Tax Allowable deductions? Basis on which tax is levied (residence vs source) What constitutes taxable income? An example An individual is considered resident in Kenya if he or she has no permanent home in Kenya and is present in Kenya for 183 days or more during a fiscal year or for an average of more than 122 days in that year and in the two preceding years. If an individual has a permanent home in Kenya and spends time in Kenya, he or she qualifies as resident. 8
9 SOME OF THE BUSINESS CHALLENGES Encouraging mobility Parity among assignees working in different locations across Africa Potential double taxation timing differences due to different tax years Ensuring optimal tax and payroll compliance in home and host locations 9
10 PROPOSED LEGISLATIVE CHANGES IN SOUTH AFRICA IMPACT ON INBOUND AND OUTBOUND ASSIGNMENTS Residence basis (Worldwide ) Source basis (SA sourced) Repeal of foreign remuneration exemption - domestic law relief avoidance of double taxation in respect of foreign remuneration (services rendered outside SA) proposed effective date: 1 March 2019 (knock on effect on assignment costs monthly employees tax to be accounted on all remuneration derived), subject to a foreign tax credit (FTC) 12 September NT to provide feedback on submissions received Change in definition of provisional taxpayer inbound shadow payrolls impacted Relocation allowances removal of Commissioner s discretion to allow one month s basic salary as a tax-free allowance Foreign pension fund contributions now a taxable fringe benefit with no corresponding deduction 10
11 NEW WHITE PAPER: IMMIGRATION LAWS Skills shortage Upskilling not happening Closing the communication gap: HR (Immigration) & Payroll Alignment with Africa Brain drain 11
12 NEW WHITE PAPER: IMMIGRATION LAWS Critical skills: to be subject to a points based system Skilled foreign hires required to follow a plan to upskill locals Levy on the employing entity where upon annual review, no evidence of upskilling/training exists Permanent residence applications: to be subject to more objective tests and approval by Minister (periodic review of criteria being met) Preference to find hires to fill resource pool from SADC* regions first South African Development Community: Comprises 15 countries in Africa: Angola, Botswana, DRC.
