Swallows in South Africa

[auditt235]

Hi, I am retired and my wife and I are considering buying a house in South Africa to over-Winter. Whilst we would only be visitors and at the start would use the visa waiver for 90 days and then extend it for another 90 days, I am worried that we will be defined as tax resident under the more than 91 days per year rule. We will have very little in terms of earnings in South Africa, just small interest, as all our income will come from pensions in the UK.

What are the implications please? We don't want to be seen to be a resident of South Africa from a UK stand point.

Thanks
