Declaration of non-residency

ZERO RATING VAT DECLARATION

DOCUMENTARY PROOF REQUIRED FOR THE VAT ZERO-RATING OF SAICA SERVICES OFFERED TO NON-RESIDENT MEMBERS

In terms of the SAICA By-laws, each member of the Institute, other than honorary or long service members, shall pay an annual subscription fee at such time and of such amount and on such conditions as may from time to time be determined by the SAICA Board.

On an annual basis, between October and December, members are issued with tax invoices in respect of the following year’s membership fees. Membership subscriptions are payable on an annual basis by 31 January for any particular year of membership.

SAICA requests all members to submit the declarations as soon as a member becomes non-resident. In order for the zero-rated VAT invoice to be generated this would need to be received one month prior to our billing date.

Declaration of non-residency

In order for SAICA to apply the zero-rate on services supplied to non-resident members of the Republic, we require written confirmation from the recipient that the recipient is not a resident of the Republic, where not stated in the recipient's order or contract between the recipient and the vendor.

Declaration

My non-residency is based on the fact that I am not ordinarily resident(i) in South Africa and I do not meet the requirements of the physical presence(ii).

I declare that the information that I provided is correct and I authorize SAICA to use it. I understand that this information will be used as documentary support for the VAT Zero rating of my membership fees.

I understand that I must submit the required declaration no later than the 45 days before SAICA’s billing date in order for the invoices to reflect the appropriate zero rating.

I understand that if I do not provide the required declaration, VAT will be levied at the standard rate (currently 15%) for any service I receive from SAICA

I will notify SAICA if my non-residency status changes. SAICA may request an updated declaration at their discretion

Notes :-

(i)A person will be considered to be ordinarily resident in South Africa, if South Africa is the country to which that person will naturally and as a matter of course return to after his or her wanderings. It could be described as that person’s usual or principal residence, or his or her real home

(ii)To meet the requirements of the physical presence test that person must be physically present in South Africa for a period or periods exceeding –

  • 91 days in total during the year of assessment under consideration, as well as 91 days in total during each of the five years of assessment preceding the year of assessment; and
  • 915 days in total during those five preceding years of assessment.
I declare that I am a non-resident in South Africa for tax purposes
