Nothing, whatever checks (if any) were done without my involvement. I actually already had all the documentation on hand including certificate of residence but I guess I'll just keep them safe for the next 5 years.
The thing that kept worrying me was all the fearmongering from the expat tax, even though I knew it was all nonsense. I declared all my global earnings, paid the necessary tax in my country of residence and SARS made no claims against me, was relieved to see the R0 with a compliant tax status![]()
Yeah, the "expat tax" is actually the deemed capital gains tax event that occurs when you stop being a tax resident. It typically only applies to any assets you have such as shares, investments, etc but it excludes fixed property.
