ETF TAX FREE SELECT-YOUR-OWN ETF PORTFOLIO (should you not wish to use our ETF Tax Free Portfolios) National Treasury appears to be allowing investment in single Collective Investment Schemes (Unit Trusts and ETFs), and not only in portfolios of such Collective Investment Schemes (CISs). This was not clear at the time of the introduction of Section 12T of the Income Tax Act in March 2015. Accordingly, we can allocate your lump sum or debit order investment into any one of the qualifying ETFs that are available on the JSE. This includes foreign ETFs, local equity and bond ETFs, or listed property ETFs, but excludes commodity ETFs as they are not registered as Collective Investment Schemes (CIS). You can also opt to switch existing portfolios to this option. A list of eligible ETFs for such free selection portfolios, is listed below.
