EVERY STEP OF THE WAY

Emigration

There are a number of things to consider before you finally depart.

We recommend pre-emigration tax and exchange control

planning and structuring. This will ensure that you avoid

double taxation, and will also safeguard your South African

wealth, in that it will be able to be transferred abroad.

Emigrating from South Africa can be daunting. It really is life-changing, and the support structures you are familiar with and rely on may seem very distant.

The good news is that the Arro Collective Team is able to assist and guide you on every step of your journey – from Farewell South Africa, to Welcome to your new Home.

The experienced Team is accustomed to creating bespoke Tax and Accounting Solutions to navigate your personal financial landscape, along with the changes that you will need to implement.

Additionally, the Arro Collective is a member of TIAG (The International Accounting Group), a Global Alliance of independent accounting firms, offering a full range of accounting services.

So, whether you are in Malta, Portugal or Ireland, this enables us to connect you to our Alliance Partners and welcome you to your new home!

Emigration made easy

At Arro we are able to strategize and plan all your tax and financial requirements, prior to departure, ensuring that you;

have a smooth transition regarding your financial planning and structuring in your new home (with one of our TIAG Alliance members). This partnership can be built early on in the emigration process, ensuring consistency and community.
