Read this about a week ago, The Government wants us to start paying tax on jobs done oversea as Permanent or temporary residents.

If we have any citizenship in South Africa, you will need to pay tax in the country you are currently working in and in South Africa. A bit much isnt it?

I remember when it was said that if you are unhappy with how the goverment runs the country you should take your money and leave the country?

Whats your opinion? Do you think it will actually happen?

If you pay tax in the country you earned the money, that is sufficient.
You will not be double taxed.

Hasn't this double taxation thing been going on for quite a while now already?

Yes, it has.

Does anyone know if its correct that my brazilian husband who lives here but works for a usa company but gets paid into his sa bank account should pay tax in SA?

I am sure he has to pay income tax in South Africa.
