My non-residency is based on the fact that I am not ordinarily resident1 in South Africa and I do not meet the requirements of the physical presence test2

I declare that the information that I provided is correct and I authorize SAICA to use it. I understand that this information will be used as documentary support for the for the VAT Zero rating of my membership fees.

I understand that if I do not provide the required declaration, VAT will be levied at the standard rate (currently 15%) for any service I receive from SAICA

I will notify SAICA if my non-residency status changes. SAICA may request an updated declaration at their discretion
