More and more South Africans are diversifying their wealth across borders. But many are unaware that assets held in jurisdictions such as the USA and the UK may be subject to estate or inheritance taxes in those countries, in addition to South Africa's own estate duty.

This is because ‘situs’ – taxes applied on death based on where the asset is considered located for legal purposes – is one of the most overlooked risks in offshore estate planning. It quietly sits in your portfolio and only reveals itself when you pass away, often resulting in significant, unexpected tax bills for your heirs.

Sarah Simson discusses 'situs' tax here: https://lnkd.in/ef--fME7

In the face of emerging market trends, there is evidence to suggest that the JSE may attract a number of foreign-listed companies seeking a secondary/inward listing on the local bourse.

With this trend in mind, Dimitri Cavvadas and Ian Petherbridge are just some of the team members at Thomson Wilks Inc with significant capital markets and cross-border experience in handling the legal aspects of transaction implementation.

Feel free to reach out to Dimitri or Ian if you would like to explore the options in this space.

South Africa’s recent amendment to section 25B of the Income Tax Act introduces a material change in the taxation of income distributed by resident trusts to non-resident beneficiaries.

The conduit principle no longer shelters such income: the South African trust is taxed at 45%, with real double-tax and treaty-relief risks.

Read the full analysis by Sarah Simson here: https://lnkd.in/djUmnqAB

Then consider:
• Reviewing all planned and historic distributions to offshore beneficiaries.
• Revisiting vesting strategies and funding mechanics (incl. section 7 attribution).
• Testing whether DTA relief / beneficial ownership can still be claimed
