Question:
What is the correct amount if you want to cancel a retirement annuity , is it R7000 or R70000 . Is there a possibility to cancel a retirement annuity if the paid up amount is only R32000?
Answer:
Shinaaz, You can cancel your retirement annuity (make it paid up) at any amount, but you will only be paid your money now if the value is less than R7 000. Otherwise you have to wait until you turn 55. If the retirement annuity value is less than R75 000, then you do not have to buy an annuity when you retire from the retirement annuity.
