Mike says: 2 September 2015 at 15:20 How is tax calculated on severance pay and a lump sum withdrawal from a retirement fund. For instance I took voluntary early retirement and was paid severance pay of R 840000. I also withdrew a lump sum of R700000 from my retirement fund. I was informed they are handled as separate intentions for tax purposes, and do understand that only one will get R500000 tax free benefit. |
