*Withholding Tax on Interest ("WTI") came into effect in April 2012 and was amended on 1 March
2015.
Interest accruing from a South African source to a non-resident, excluding a controlled foreign company,
will be subject to withholding tax at a rate of 15% on payment, except interest:
• arising on any Government debt instrument;
• arising on any listed debt instrument;
• arising on any debt owed by a bank or the South African Reserve Bank;
• arising from a bill of exchange or letter of credit where goods are imported into South Africa and
where an authorized dealer has certified such on the instrument;
• payable by a headquarter company; or
• accruing to a non-resident natural person who was physically present in South Africa for a period
exceeding 183 days in aggregate, during that year, or carried on a business through a permanent
establishment in South Africa.
Investors are advised that to the extent that the distribution amount comprises of any interest, it
will not be subject to WTI by virtue of the fact that it is listed debt instruments and/or bank debt.
No dividend withholding tax will be deducted from dividends payable to a South African tax resident
qualifying for exemption from dividend withholding tax provided that the investor has provided the
following forms to their Central Securities Depository Participant ("CDSP") or broker, as the case
may be in respect of its participatory interest:
a) a declaration that the distribution is exempt from dividends tax; and
b) a written undertaking to inform their CSDP or broker, as the case may be, should the
circumstances affecting the exemption change or the beneficial owner cease to be the
beneficial owner, both in the form prescribed by the South African Revenue Service. South
African tax resident investors are advised to contact their CSDP, to arrange for the
abovementioned documents to be submitted prior to payment of the distribution, if such
documents have not already been submitted.
Non-resident investors for South African income tax purposes
The dividend distribution received by non-resident investors will be exempt from income tax in
terms of section 10(1)(k)(i) of the Income Tax Act No.58 of 1962 ("Act"), but will be subject to
dividend withholding tax. Dividend withholding tax is levied at a rate of 20%, unless the rate is
reduced in terms of any applicable agreement for the avoidance of double taxation ("DTA") between
South Africa and the country of residence of the non-resident investor.
A reduced dividend withholding rate in terms of the applicable DTA may only be relied on if the non-
resident investor has provided the following forms to their CSDP or broker, as the case may be in
respect of its participatory interest:
a) a declaration that the dividend is subject to a reduced rate as a result of the application of
a DTA; and
b) a written undertaking to inform the CSDP or broker, as the case may be, should the
circumstances affecting the reduced rate change or the beneficial owner ceases to be the
beneficial owner, both in the form prescribed by the South African Revenue Service. Non-
resident investors are advised to contact their CSDP or broker, as the case may be, to
arrange for the abovementioned documents to be submitted prior to the payment of the
distribution if such documents have not already been submitted.
Both resident and non-resident investors are encouraged to consult their professional advisors
should they be in any doubt as to the appropriate action to take.
Additional information:
