*** South African Tax: No dividend withholding tax will be deducted from dividends payable to a

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.
*Withholding Tax on Interest (WTI) came into effect 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.
• 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.
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 as a result 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.
