Tax-free savings

Maximise the long-term growth of your savings by benefiting from a tax-free savings account (TFSA).

What is a TFSA?

Tax-free savings accounts (TFSAs) were introduced in 2015 to encourage individuals resident in SA to save more. The growth and income received on a TFSA investment are tax free. This means you are not liable for any capital gains tax or tax on the dividends and interest received on your investment.

A TFSA is a convenient and flexible way to accumulate savings over time in a tax-efficient manner.

You can invest from as little as R500 per month or make lump sum payments. You may also invest on behalf of your minor child.

Benefits of the Ninety One Tax-Free Savings Account

1
Both the growth and income you receive on your investment are tax free – no capital gains tax (CGT) or tax is levied on the dividends and interest received.

2
It is a convenient and flexible way to accumulate savings over time – as you won't incur tax, more of your money is available to benefit from the power of compounding growth.

3
Parents can invest on behalf of minors (withdrawals must be paid into a bank account in the minor’s name).

4
You can stay invested as long as you want to. The longer you remain invested, the bigger your potential growth and tax saving.
