Need to Sell Your Car Before Emigrating?

For many of us living in South Africa, the idea of selling everything and leaving to start over in a new country is a very welcomed thought, while even romantic to some. But when you begin the process, there’ll come a day you’ll find yourself standing in the kitchen wondering how you’re going to sell your potato peeler, and that’s when the reality sets in.

Whether you’re leaving because of a bad break up, a new job opportunity, or the state of the economy, starting your life over involves a lot. And while it’s easy to say that you’ll leave everything behind, disposing of your all possessions and assets first can be time-consuming. On the other hand, the more belongings you have, the more expensive it’ll will be to move. But not everything has to be a difficult decision around whether to sell or donate. Your vehicle is one of those items that you can sell easily and retrieve some money back from it should you go through the right channels of selling.

Unlike your potato peeler that may end up getting thrown away, when it comes to anything motoring related, you have many options that allow you to not take a loss. At Sell Us A Car, we serve private car sellers by providing a secure and resourceful way to sell your vehicles easily, checking one thing off your long emigration to do list. This service is available to sellers of good quality cars with low mileage. With our years of experience in the market, we aim at making the process as quick and seamless as possible for you, because we know time is of the essence and so is making your money back.

Changes for emigration in South Africa

Are you aware that the “concept of ‘emigration’ as recognised by the Financial Surveillance Department of the South African Reserve Bank (SARB), was phased out with effect 1 March 2021.”

The National Treasury aims to encourage South Africans to keep ties with their home country through the change of this regulation. However, this change has only created more confusion around citizenship, exchange control (excon) residency and tax residency. Read more of that on BusinessTech.
