What is the maximum tax-free contribution for a retirement annuity fund?


Your retirement annuity fund contributions qualify for a tax deduction. Your retirement annuity tax-free contribution is limited to 27,5% of income or R350,000 pa, whichever is less. These limits include any contributions made to your workplace pension or provident fund.

Irrespective of these limits, you must report the full amount of your contributions on your tax return. SARS will calculate how much of those contributions it will allow as a tax deduction that year. SARS keeps a record of all unclaimed contributions, and allow these in future years (subject to the prevailing limits in those years).
