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 Central Securities Depository Participant (CSDP) or broker
with the following:
a) a declaration that the distribution is exempt from dividends tax; and
b) a written undertaking to inform their CSDP or broker, 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 or broker, to arrange for the abovementioned documents to be submitted prior to payment of the distribution, if such
documents have not already been submitted.
Distributions by Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) are subject to income tax for South African tax residents and for non-
residents it is subject to 20% SA withholding tax.
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.
• 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.
Withholding Tax on Interest (WTI) came into effect on 1 March 2015.
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.
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
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 in respect of its participatory interest:
a) a declaration that the dividend is subject to a reduced rate because of the application of a DTA; and
b) a written undertaking to inform the CSDP or broker should the circumstances affecting the reduced rate change or the beneficial
owner cease 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 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.
