TaxTim says: 10 December 2015 at 11:52 Currently, there is no deduction (ie tax benefit) for your contributions to a Provident fund. With regards to your RA, you can deduct up to 15% of "non-pensionable income" and therefore claim a tax benefit. However, please note the tax rules are changing around retirement deductions which come into effect 1 March 2016 and therefore will impact your 2017 tax return. You will be able to claim a deduction for both the provident fund and RA contributions but these will be capped at a certain limit. |
