Hi all,

I'm looking at receiving my pension lumpsum (non SA based pension), and I'm a little confused.

Can anyone confirm if me taking 30% of my pension at 55 years old qualifies as tax free up to R550K? This is my understanding, but my pension company is currently going through a liquidation process so that muddies the waters in terms of what/when I can get out. So with that in mind...

Can this lump sum only be taken before any 'normal' drawdowns are taken?

...And does it have to be a single transactions, or can the lump sum be made out of 2 or 3 payments?

Thanks in advance!
