South Africa's retirement fund market is becoming increasingly competitive, and TSRF employers are being approached by retail umbrella funds promising simpler solutions. Before making any decisions, there are important factors every employer should consider.

As an employer participating in the TSRF, you are required by law to provide minimum basic information for each of your employees (members). One of the compulsory requirements is a full physical residential address for every member. This requirement applies equally to all members, whether they live in a formal urban area, a township extension, a stand/plot, a rural village, or an informal settlement.

Newsflash - Tax Rejection by SARS

SARS Claim Rejections Due to Personal Information Mismatch

 

We would like to inform you that a number of claims have recently been rejected by the South African Revenue Service (SARS) due to a change made to their system. SARS now requires that any personal details on a member's claim form is a 100% match to the details on their SARS record. This refers to the personal details used by the member when initially registering with SARS.

 

We are working on a solution to resubmit the rejected claims and we hope to resolve this quite soon.

 

Please also note that this is not an issue unique to Salt Employee Benefits, it is impacting the entire retirement fund industry.

 

Thank you for your patience!

Newsflash - Risk Benefits Cover

Dear TSRF Members

 

Please be informed that all members aged 65 and older are not covered for risk benefits, which include disability and death cover. Funeral cover however, is provided under the age of 70.

 

This means that once you reach the age of 65, these benefits will no longer apply to you. We encourage members approaching this age to review their financial planning and consider alternative insurance options if needed.
