Income earned by non-resident entertainers and sportspersons
ID:CVINE

Video Overview

Non-resident entertainers and sportspersons are not taxed in the same way as other non-residents. They are taxed using a withholding tax system that came into effect in 2006. Previously, foreign entertainers and sportspersons were taxed on income derived from their performances in South Africa on a similar basis to South African residents. For example, if a golf player won a tournament in South Africa, the prize money was included in his gross income and he had to pay tax on it using the marginal tax rates. However, this system proved to be impractical in light of these people’s very short stays in the country. In this video we will explore how the withholding tax system works.
