Important income tax information

1) Foreigners who settle in South Africa will be exempt from South African tax on foreign pensions received provided these relate to past employment outside South Africa and are not deemed to be from an South African source. Social security payments from foreign governments are also exempt from tax.

People who are staying at least 183 days per year in South Africa are regarded as residents so the so-called “swallows� can live less then 183 days in their other home.

2. As far as the individual’s capital is concerned it does not really matter where it is invested because income earned from investments are taxable in South Africa no matter where they are earned in the world.

3) The purchase of and the investments in a farm is income tax wise very interesting for individuals who are actually living in a country which has a Double Taxation Agreement with South Africa like all Scandinavian countries, UK, Holland, Germany, France, Switzerland and Austria.

When they purchase namely a farm in South Africa in their personal name and become resident in South Africa then they can offset for 3 to 5 years the investments in that farm against the income acquired in their personal name in the present country of residence.

For the golf lover the Eastern Free State, and indeed the whole Free State, has an abundance of superb courses, both full size 18 hole courses, mainly under irrigation, and a few smaller "fun" courses with 9 holes, like those at Clarens, Kestell and Clocolan. The larger courses (like in Fouriesburg and Ficksburg) have bent-grass greens and most fairways are irrigated. The high altitude (5,000 Feet/1450 Meter) climate is generally not humid and makes for a great golfing climate. Green fees are so low that even Johannesburg golfers find it worthwhile to drive down for the day and play golf. Green fees of no more than R50/18 holes are the norm for non members and R25/18 holes for members. Membership fees at most 18 holes clubs are R1,000/year, in Bloemfontein and cities a lot more. A little further away, in places like Bloemfontein and Welkom are some of the best Golf courses in the country. The reasons for this is that in mining towns like Welkom, the mine companies spend a lot on recreational facilities and subsidise some superb facilities.

Fouriesburg, in the Free State province of South Africa, is close (8 Km/5 miles) to the border of Lesotho and, just like Clarens attractive for tourists due to being in the "Rooiberge" [Red mountains], the Golden Gate National Park and the Maluti Mountains in Lesotho. The Lesotho Trout Rivers are only a 45 minutes drive right up into the spectacular Maluti Mountains. The "Little Caledon" river which flows from Golden Gate National Park, near Clarens and then flows near Fouriesburg and joins with the Caledon river (boundary with Lesotho) is stocked with Trout and numerous farm dams are well stocked with Black Bass and Carp.

You have the rare opportunity to enjoy two to three months of guaranteed snow skiing on the longest slopes in Africa.
The magical setting of Afri-Ski, only one hours drive from Fouriesburg, is perfectly nestled in the heart of the Lesotho Maluti’s.
The scenic Moteng pass (60 km of excellent newly tarred surface) guides you to the mystical Mahlasela valley (3222 m above sea level) which is guarded by the majestic Thaba Nhethenyane and Mount Aux Sources, the two highest peaks in the Maluti/Drakensberg ranges.

The sales price is 2,300,000 South African Rand. The sales price in £, € or US$ is dependent on the exchange rate into South African Rand (25/03/05: £198,000 or €286,000 or US$370,000).
