Heritage 1,

I'm sorry, after going through everything, I don't see it????

I found this..........

Amending foreign employment income-tax exemption in respect of South African residents
Currently, if a South African resident works in a foreign country for more than 183 days a year, foreign
employment income earned is exempt from tax, subject to certain conditions. This exemption is for
employees of private-sector companies. In terms of the residence-based system of taxation, South African
residents are taxed on their worldwide income. However, this exemption on foreign employment income
appears excessively generous. If a resident works in a foreign country for more than 183 days with no tax
payable in the foreign country, that foreign employment income will benefit from double non-taxation. It
is proposed that this exemption be adjusted so that foreign employment income will only be exempt from
tax if it is subject to tax in the foreign country.
Of course I am not a SA resident working abroad, so this does not apply........

Got anything more specific?
