How much can I withdraw annually from my living annuity?


Question:

Is it correct that the monthly annuity payment must be between 2.5% and 17.5%, calculated from the total value / lump sum per year?

Answer:

Chris, If you use part or all of the proceeds of your retirement fund to buy a living annuity, then you must draw /withdraw annually between 2.5% and 17.5% of the residual capital (at the policy anniversary date) of that living annuity. This income is taxed per the income tax tables. Note that no lump-sum tax is levied on amounts transferred from your retirement fund to such an annuity provider (only on the income you draw afterwards).
