The New Tax Free Account.

Anybody know what one must do to have the Tax free account of R30,000 per year, can I open another account with OST and buy shares for that account? Does that mean that account does not have to be included in one's tax return? How does it work? If one can open another account with OST will there be a service charge every month on that Tax Free account?

Wait to find out the details - all will be revealed - so watch the budget speech - and forget about shares as a holding - applies from 2015 2016 tax year.

At this stage looks like you will have to go for an insurance product. Banks are holding their breath - awaiting final regulations still not published, on how to structure their offering.

You will not have to go for an insurance product. Investec have just offered a fixed deposit version.. 12 months but then I suppose they would.

Thanks Simon, this is just what I was looking for, however will there be a service fee each month, i.e. the R60 we are paying on the OST account if three trades are not executed each month? Will the account be connected to my present OST account, will it have the same account number or will I have to log in using another number?

Everything is cool, the account is already under my existing product registration menu. I have already registered. Thanks again.
