Tax implications for foreign residents providing services to UCT

Posted by David Worth | 1 Mar, 2010
UCT's accountants (Price Waterhouse Coopers) have provided some guidance for us on payments to foreign residents for services rendered, and the tax implications.  Their advice is contained in an eight page document, and there are a lot of if and buts, so skip to the conclusions on page 8 if you just need to get a quick idea of what this is all about.  

We frequently get queries about what we are and aren't allowed to do, particularly for visiting academics, and this is the latest advice. If you have any queries, specifically relating to the SARS issues here, then please contact either the faculty Finance office, Peter Grant in the Finance Dept. If your query relates to Home Affairs (Visa, Work permits etc.) then please contact Cheryl Samuels in HR.
