Taxation

South Africa has a residence-based system, which means residents are - subject to certain exclusions - taxed on their worldwide income, irrespective of where their income was earned.

Non-residents are, however, taxed on their income from a South African source.  

Foreign taxes are offset against South African tax payable on foreign income.

The majority of the state's income is derived from income tax (personal and company tax), although nearly a third of total revenue from national government taxes comes from indirect taxes such as VAT.
