Lump Sum Payout
You can withdraw your entire savings as a lump sum at retirement. This differs from a pension fund, where only a one -third portion can be taken as a lump sum.
Optional Annuity Purchase
Although not required, you can choose to use all or part of your provident fund savings to purchase an annuity, which would provide a regular income for life.
Tax Implications
While a portion of the lump sum withdrawal may be tax-free, the remaining amount may be subject to taxation based on Namibian tax laws.
Normal Retirement Age
The normal retirement age (NRA) ranges from 55 - 65. This may be defined as midnight on the last day of the month during which the member attains the NRA.
