Tax-free savings accounts were introduced some 15 months ago, but a recent Sanlam survey shows that many people either don’t know about them or are misinformed about them. If you don’t have a good understanding of how they work, you could be losing out on the opportunity to save paying three different taxes that apply to investments: income tax on interest, dividends tax and capital gains tax. In another feature to mark National Savings Month, Personal Finance corrects the misconceptions about tax-free savings accounts and reaffirms their benefits.
