Back To | Wealth, Taxation & Investments
On 3 December in Johannesburg and 9 December in Cape Town, the French South African Chamber of Commerce and Industry (FSACCI), together with its members Equance Group and ForvisMazars, had the pleasure of hosting two informative sessions dedicated to wealth, taxation, and investments.
The conferences offered French expatriates and entrepreneurs' practical guidance on managing their personal and professional affairs in South Africa. Experts from ForvisMazars unpacked the essentials of the South African tax system, explaining the differences between residents and non-residents, the influence of marital regimes and corporate structures, and important considerations around succession planning, wills, and exchange control. The sessions were highly interactive, with valuable exchanges between speakers and participants.
Equance Group added a complementary perspective, focusing on the challenges French nationals may face when navigating international capital gains, cross-border matrimonial rules, and succession matters across jurisdictions.
Together, these presentations gave attendees a clearer view of the fiscal and legal landscape, helping them anticipate potential challenges and make more informed decisions.
