Tax-free investing

We offer you a tax-free investment option in one or more of nine of our unit trust funds. The investment returns are 100% tax exempt.

Benefits of tax-free investments

  • You earn tax-free growth on your contributions into your investment.
  • You don’t pay tax on any dividends (normally 20% tax is charged).
  • You don’t pay tax on any interest earned.
  • You don’t pay tax on capital gains (ie any profit made on the sale of your investment).

Investment contributions

Contributions are limited to R36,000 per year and R500,000 over your lifetime across all tax-free investment accounts. Any excess contributions are taxed at 40%.

You may invest in multiple unit trusts, provided these limits are not exceeded. There is no limit on growth, only on contributions.

Withdrawals are allowed at any time, but they do not reset your lifetime contribution limit.
