Are proceeds from a pension fund transferred to another fund considered non-taxable income?
Posted 18 November 2013
I changed employers, shortly before the beginning of the current tax year. At the time I transferred my pension/provident contributions across to another investment future fund (as you are allowed to do legally) without benefiting or receiving any physical proceeds. I have subsequently received an IT3(a) from the previous pension fund for the lump sum amount which has been recorded on my current pending tax return. I would assume that this is considered as non-taxable income ?
