Tax implications for non-resident shareholders on the South African branch register:
Foreign dividends received by non-resident shareholders on the South African branch register during
this financial year are subject to South African dividends withholding tax at 20%, unless the rate is
reduced in terms of any applicable agreement for the avoidance of double taxation between South
Africa and the country of residence of the non-resident shareholder (DTA: Double Tax Agreement) or if
any specific exemption applied. A reduced dividend withholding rate in terms of the applicable DTA or
the foreign dividend exemption in section 64F (j) can only be relied on if the non-resident shareholder
provided the following forms (both in the form prescribed by the Commissioner of the South African
Revenue Services) to their Central Securities Depository Participant (CSDP) or broker, as the case may
be, in respect of certificated shares before the date of payment of the relevant dividend:
- A declaration that the dividend is subject to a reduced rate as a result of the application of the DTA
before the date of payment of the relevant dividend; and
- A written undertaking to inform their CSDP or broker, as the case may be, should the circumstances
affecting the reduced rate have changed or the beneficial owner ceased to be the beneficial owner.
If applicable, where the applicable documents is not received by the date of payment of the relevant
dividend, and the reduced rate or exemption is not applied at the time the dividend is paid, the non-
resident shareholders are advised to contact their CSDP or broker, as the case may be, to arrange for
the abovementioned documents to be submitted in order for a refund of the over-withheld amount of
dividends withholding tax. Please note that the necessary documents must be submitted within three
years after the date of payment of the relevant dividend.
