An interview with Jonty Leon, Legal Manager, Financial Emigration, and Dr Ivor Blumenthal, CEO, ArkKonsult, discussing the Draft Tax Law Amendment Bill (TLAB) which contains a hidden announcement, which may prove to be the final straw for many ex-South Africans who still have retirement investments left in South Africa.

The Draft Tax Law Amendment Bill (TLAB) contained a hidden announcement, which may prove to be the final straw for many ex-South Africans who still have retirement investments left in South Africa.
