Nozi do you have any podcasts we could listen to?

[@jadehill1339]

You have explained this so well! Thank you so much. I started mine 2 months ago thinking that it was a "savings account". I've been so confused trying to understand all of this stuff and this has cleared so much up before I make any big mistakes!

[@Melissa-r2v]

Hi, lets say i inbested 36k into my tfsa and bought etfs with it. Lets say during the year, i wanna sell my current etfs and buy another etf in the tfsa section. Will it come out of my annual limit?

[@refilweannastacia4667]

Hi Nozi I think my first mistake was opening a TFSA with stash and using it like a “savings account “ like you’ve said , I’ve made one withdrawal already and I guess we learn from our mistakes but I want to rectify that How do I now change from using stash to easy equities? And can I permanently remove stash at that?

[@TalkingMoneyWithNozi]

You can request a transfer from Stash directly into the TFSA on EasyEquities. Make sure you TRANSFER, not Withdraw.

[@Le_bo733]

Thank you for the great video ma’am. Just wanted to find out, how can one find out how much they have already consumed from 500 000?

[@TalkingMoneyWithNozi]

@@Le_bo733 hi,you can ask for your annual statements

[@TumeloSilas]

Hello Nozi, Quick question lets say you have TFSA in easy equities and you get dividends, do those dividends count on the money you deposited? or have an impact on your annual 36k limit or 500k life time limit ?

[@TalkingMoneyWithNozi]

No dividends DO NOT count as a contribution

[@MalusiMasiteng]

Thank you for this, Nozi!

[@TalkingMoneyWithNozi]

You're welcome 😊 🙏🏼. Thanks for watching

[@sivuyisodeliwe1158]

Hi Nozi Thank you very informative videos, I started following you and I'm learning so much. Can one have multiple TFSA with different banks and have different 36 000 max in each account. Second question, do funds in your EasyEquity TFSA earn interest like they would if invested in a normal bank? Looking forward to hear from you

[@TalkingMoneyWithNozi]

You can have multiple TFSAs but you CANNOT put R36 000 in each. It can only be R36 000 in TOTAL across your TFSAs. Secondly, I use my EasyEquities TFSA to invest in stock market investments called ETFs. I never let it sit as cash because interest from cash has poor growth compared to investing in the stock market

[@mamathlonisetsabi8842]

Thank you so much this so clear

[@TalkingMoneyWithNozi]

Glad it is clear. Thanks for watching 😊

[@aw5453]

"No tax on all south african dividends" Hi. Great video! So if you invest in a ETF in the TFSA that is for an overseas ETF such as S&P500 there will still be some taxes?

[@TalkingMoneyWithNozi]

Yes, there is 15% tax on foreign dividends, but that is the only tax applicable

[@aw5453]

@@TalkingMoneyWithNozi where can I find more information and clarification on this specific tax? Is it 15% tax on profits only once withdrawing?

[@ms.masegojacobs]

Hi Nozi. What is the significance of choosing the 2nd option before clicking on "place buy order"

[@TalkingMoneyWithNozi]

The first option buys your shares immediately regardless of the price, meaning you could pay a higher price than current price. The second option waits and only buys your shares at the current price or lower

[@ms.masegojacobs]

@@TalkingMoneyWithNozi Thank you

[@shaunwordplay3111]

Please explain how to invest on stash app. It doesn't have the choices as easy equities does.

[@TalkingMoneyWithNozi]

Yes, stash is a standard bank/Liberty product. It has only Liberty/Standard Bank products. Easyequities has everything

[@kodwat2134]

Can you also do the transfer for the TFSA you opened for a child?

[@TalkingMoneyWithNozi]

Yes

[@kodwat2134]

So when you make the transfer from one TSFA to another, are you also limited to R36K a year per transfer?

[@TalkingMoneyWithNozi]

No. You can transfer any amount. Transfers are not counted as deposits

Hi Nozi. Using the two institution examples Ee TFSA and Stash is the life limit for both R500 000 or R500 000 in each institution???

[@TalkingMoneyWithNozi]

NO!!! The R500 000 lifetime limit applies in TOTAL. You add all your deposits to different institutions and they must not be above R500 000

Hi Nozi Thanks for this video.. I wanted to clarify something. You said that you moved your TFSA from African bank ( cash TFSA), so know I want to move mine as well but since we in the new financial year ( 1st of March ) and we can all invest again the 36k in our TFSA. When I transfer to Easy E for ( ETFs TFSA) from African bank and still contribute the required limited limits? Lol I hope I am explaining this correctly 😅… basically will it be reflected as R72 000 and I can invest that full amount?

[@TalkingMoneyWithNozi]

Yes you can. A transfer is not counted as a new contribution. You can transfer from African Bank into Easyequities TFSA and then also make deposits for this tax year
