DID YOU KNOW?

Prior to March 2021, individuals who ceased their tax residency and confirmed their emigration status with the South African Reserve Bank could withdraw their retirement interest in South Africa immediately. With effect from 1 March 2021, these retirement benefits are locked in for a minimum period of three years, after which they could be fully withdrawn (subject to lump sum tax implications). The three year-rule does not imply that, an individual who wishes to withdraw their retirement interest should post-pone their formalisation of non-residency until the three-year period has lapsed. This is a risky approach that should be avoided.

South Africans who have formally ceased their tax residency status by using financial emigration or have been noted as non-residents for tax purposes in South Africa have the rare opportunity to withdraw their retirement funds from South Africa without having to wait until the maturity date.

HAVE YOU CEASED YOUR TAX RESIDENCY YET?

A benefit to starting your financial emigration process now, even though you have been living abroad for more than 3 years, is that we will be able to backdate your financial emigration/non-residency status to prove that you have been a non-tax resident for more than 3 years, thus allowing you to immediately withdraw your policies once your financial emigration application has been successful.

THE GOLDEN LETTER:

Further to meeting the requirements for the 3 year lock
in rule, one requires a Notice of Non-Resident Tax Status Letter to successfully
withdraw your policies.
