  • Taxation whilst working abroad for a UK based employer

    Hello, I am a full time employee of a UK based company, which operates has sites globally. There are discussions for me to possibly move to South Africa next year. The idea will be that I remain employed by the UK company, but live and work in South Africa for around 75% of my time, returning to the UK 25% of my time for work purposes. This work pattern will most likely be for more than 2-3 years. I am a UK citizen from birth. I understand the UK and South Africa have a double taxation agreement, but can any tell me how and where I will pay tax. Will I pay tax fully in SA, or UK? Many thanks
