Blamey said: 24 February 2016 at 8:14 I have worked for a company for 10 years. I have never been retrenched before and my company pension fund is worth around R780K. I have been retrenched due to my division being closed. I have been offered a retrenchment package of R180K cash. How will this R180K be taxed and how will my pension be taxed if I withdraw it or if I move it? |

TaxTim Nicci said: 24 February 2016 at 13:06 We get an amount of R102 600 - however this should be the amount that you will pay over to SARS roughly. The company may take some other factors into account. If you move the pension amount to a preservation fund then there will be no tax. |
