Ageing without a benefit:
Taxation Laws Amendment Act 25
of 2015 and the Tax Administration
Laws Amendment Act 23 of 2015
MacGregor Kufa
LLB, LLM (UNISA)
Who is a pensioner?
Current Pension Regime
• Pension fund
• Provident fund
• Retirement annuity
Why so much hype
• With a provident fund, before the law, you could
access 100 percent of your capital in cash or you
could access annuity and had full flexibility;
• In the future any provident fund member will
now be able to deduct their contribution so they
may increase their take home slightly and at
retirement they will now have to purchase
annuity with up to two thirds of the contributions
they have made post 2016;
What it means when you resign
What it means when you resign
• What that means is if you resign from your
employment at the moment you will still get all the
money from your retirement fund in cash;
• Rules around retirement funds have changed. The
majority of the changes were in the 2013 and 2014
acts but were delayed with the implementation;
• The issue is people are not retiring with sufficient
income even if they have spent years contributing and
that’s because at the times they should be preserving
funds they aren’t.
What it means when you resign
• Will I have access to my pension or provident
fund if I resign or lose my job before P-day?
• Yes. This will only change when the
preservation requirement becomes law.
Vested rights (i.e. accumulated retirement
savings before new laws take effect) will be
protected and limited withdrawals will only be
allowed on new contributions made after
preservation becomes law.
Economic Implications
• The National Development Plan acknowledges the
importance of higher savings and investments in promoting
economic growth in the country;
• These savings can come from domestic and/or foreign
sources. Foreign savings are an important source for domestic
investment but are short-term in nature and can be volatile,
thereby affecting the Rand;
• Our domestic savings have generally been very low, and
therefore need to be harnessed to better promote economic
growth. At an individual level, retirees will increase their
chances of a financially better life in retirement;
