Taxation of foreign entertainers and sportspersons (sections 47A to 47K) Any resident who is liable to pay any amount to a foreign entertainer or sportsperson who is a non-resident, for a performance in South Africa, must deduct or withhold tax at a rate of 15% of the gross payments. The rate of 15% may be reduced by the provisions of a tax treaty. The resident must pay the amount so deducted or withheld to SARS on behalf of the foreign entertainer or sportsperson before the end of the month following the month in which the tax was deducted or withheld. Failure to deduct or withhold tax and to pay it over to SARS will render the resident personally liable for the tax. Either the foreign entertainer or sportsperson or the resident who pays the withholding tax must submit a return (NR01) together with the payment to the Commissioner. If it is not possible for the tax to be withheld (for example, if the payer is a non-resident), the foreign entertainer or sportsperson will be liable for the tax which must be paid to SARS within 30 days after the amount is received by or accrued to that entertainer or sportsperson. The 15% tax on foreign entertainers and sportspersons is a final tax. Any amount received by or accrued to a person who is non-resident is exempt from normal tax under section 10(1)(lA) if that amount is subject to tax on foreign entertainers and sportspersons. A foreign entertainer or sportsperson who is – • employed by an employer who is a resident, and • physically present in South Africa for more than 183 days in aggregate in a 12-month period commencing or ending during a year of assessment, will not be liable for the 15% withholding tax but will have to pay income tax on the same basis as a resident, that is, at the rates of normal tax, which may require the submission of an income tax return (ITR12). Any person who is primarily responsible for founding, organising or facilitating a performance in South Africa and who will be rewarded for such, must notify SARS of the performance within 14 days of concluding an agreement with a performer. 59 For more information contact the special team dealing with visiting artists at Download 0.78 Mb.
