Can I take a percentage of my retirement annuity out in cash?


Question:

I have R990 000 in a Retirement Annuity, I want to retire this year I will be 70 years old. Can I take a third in cash and the balance for a monthly income. Do I have to specify how many years I want for this balance to be paid to me and what happens to this balance if I die? My beneficiary lives in UK. Thanks

Answer:

E, You will be required to use at least two-thirds to buy a retirement annuity. You can take up to one-third as cash. You can choose between a living or a guaranteed annuit.
