The taxation of pension, provident and retirement annuity funds affects every employer, yet the rules on contributions, deductions and benefit payments are frequently misunderstood. This course explains how retirement fund contributions are taxed and deducted, how retirement and withdrawal lump sums are treated, and how employers can structure benefits efficiently. The content reflects the South African retirement reform environment and the two pot system.
