Q: I would like to withdraw funds from my Private Retirement Scheme (PRS) for my holiday trip overseas. Is this withdrawal subject to tax?
A: If the contributions are withdrawn before reaching the age of 55 and are not for specific exempted reasons, withholding tax (final tax) at a rate of 8% will be imposed on withdrawals made.
Wishing you plentiful tax savings!
