It’s About More Than Just Us

Since its establishment in 1932, VDT Attorneys Inc. has developed many relationships in the professional, legal and transformative realms of its surroundings. We have grown to be a firm known for high expertise and advanced work ethic.

Looking after our clients by providing tailor-made solutions to their matters remains a priority but we do not neglect our responsibility to the larger community. As a firm, we are annual facilitators of the VDT/Beeld Children’s Fund Golf Day. More than sharing in the pleasantries of swinging a few clubs and drivers, we raise funds and proceeds go to the Beeld Children’s Fund. The Fund aims to develop children from an early age to break the cycle of poverty and increase welfare.

Over the past 12 years to this commitment, we have donated over R1.7 million, which has been utilised for the basic and therapeutic needs of many homeless, orphaned and disabled children.

Additionally, we have identified, and continue to identify, proficient individuals from previously disadvantaged communities to develop and gain field-related work experience and academic education through career planning, training, and bursary schemes.

Navigating financial emigration

Navigating financial emigration

In recent years, South Africa has seen a notable rise in financial emigration. This shift comes with significant tax implications, as individuals who cease to be tax residents must navigate complex regulations and financial considerations. Understanding these implications is crucial for anyone considering this move. Financial emigration refers to the formal process by which South African taxpayers alter their tax residency status, change their status with the South African Reserve Bank (SARB) for exchange control purposes and relocate their financial assets to other countries. This often involves transferring wealth, investments, and retirement funds offshore. The South African Revenue Services now mainly oversees this process, allowing individuals to terminate their tax residency in South Africa while effectively transferring their finances overseas.
