b) Advise Jochim on the normal tax implications of the transfer to his tax free
savings account and the subsequent use of this account for medical expenses.
The annual tax-free portion of contributions to a tax-free investment is limited to
R36 000
The excess contributions Jochim made of R64 000 (being R100 000 - 36000) will be
subject to normal tax at 40%
The payment of medical expenses from a tax free investment will be regarded as a
withdrawal from the tax-free investment.
There are no income tax implications for withdrawals from tax free investments and
therefore no tax implications for the payment of medical expenses from the tax-free
investment
