Real people. Real questions.
Can I open a joint Sygnia Stargazer Account for both my children?
You cannot open a joint Sygnia Stargazer Tax-Free Savings Account, but it’s easy to open two accounts at the same time, so don’t let that stop you – and we are here to help with the details.
Does the Sygnia Stargazer Tax-Free Savings Account have a finite lifespan?
No. Once a Sygnia Stargazer, always a Sygnia Stargazer. The account can be kept for the rest of your child’s life.
Can I add different funds to the Sygnia Stargazer Tax-Free Savings Account?
Short answer – no. We have designed the Sygnia Stargazer Tax-Free Savings Account to be the most effective and efficient one-stop solution to a parent’s needs. To deliver results in today’s volatile market at the lowest fees possible, we don’t currently offer customisation.
Does the Sygnia Stargazer Tax Free Savings Account get taxed?
Great question! The account is structured as a Tax-Free Savings Account so the first R46 000 deposited in any one year and/or the first R500 000 over the lifetime of the account will automatically be deposited in this account.
Who can open a Sygnia Stargazer Tax-Free Savings Account?
Any parent or legal guardian can open a Sygnia Stargazer Tax-Free Savings Account for a minor with a valid South African form of identification with an identity number, e.g. a birth certificate. The account will be in the child’s name, but the parent (or any other benefactor) is the “payer”. Any money withdrawn from the child’s Sygnia Stargazer Tax-Free Savings Account will be paid into the bank account of the contracting party – in other words, into the child’s bank account.
