What South African traders should know
Lirunex is licensed by the Mauritius FSC and registered in Hong Kong — it does not hold a South African FSCA licence, and South Africa's FSCA does not regulate offshore CFD brokers. South African residents trading with an offshore broker should be aware of SARB's foreign investment allowance rules and should keep their own tax records for any trading profits, since Lirunex reports under its own jurisdiction, not South African tax law.
