How will my linked retirement annuity be taxed?


Question:

How are compulsory monies from a retirement fund that are invested into a linked annuity taxed.

Answer:

Stephens, The transfer to the linked annuity is not taxed. Any draw-downs from the linked annuity are taxed as income. The linked annuity provider will apply the current PAYE income tax tables, and pay you the after-tax amount. If you receive other income, then the tax deducted may be too little. You can then either request the provider to deduct at a higher tax rate or make provisional/top-up payments to SARS.
