We're in the business of saving you money, which is why we want to bring to your attention the implications of over-contributing towards your Tax-Free Savings Account. You're allowed to invest R36 000 per tax year and R500 000 per lifetime, so any contribution made over and above the R36 000 will attract a 40% penalty payable to SARS.
Tax free
You may contribute up to R36 000 in a tax year and R500 000 in your lifetime, without paying tax on the interest earned.
Immediate access
You can access your money immediately online or at any Absa branch.
Cash for emergencies
It is the perfect way to start growing an easily accessible emergency fund.
