From 1 September 2024, all future retirement fund contributions are split: 1/3 into a Savings Pot (accessible once per tax year) and 2/3 into a Retirement Pot (locked until retirement). Existing funds stay in a Vested Pot under old rules.
Savings Pot Rules
Access once per tax year. Minimum withdrawal R2,000. Taxed as income (added to your taxable income for that year). Emergency use only — withdrawing early significantly reduces retirement savings.
Retirement Pot Rules
Cannot be accessed before retirement (age 55+). At retirement: up to 1/3 as lump sum, 2/3 must buy an annuity. Same rules as old RA apply.
Cost of Early Access
Withdrawing R10,000 from your savings pot today could cost you R50,000–R100,000 at retirement due to lost compound growth. Think carefully before accessing.

Trust Essentials
Letters of Authority
Issued by the Master of the High Court. All trustees must be listed. Required for bank accounts, SARS registration, and property transfer.
SARS Registration
Trusts must register for income tax within 30 days of establishment (IT77TR form). VAT registration required if turnover exceeds R1M/yr.
Section 7 Anti-Avoidance
Income from assets donated to a trust is taxed in the donor's hands if the donor retains a benefit or exercises control.
Beneficiary Distributions
Income distributed to beneficiaries in the same tax year is taxed at the beneficiary's marginal rate (not the trust rate). Properly document distribution resolutions.
Testamentary vs Inter Vivos Trust
Testamentary (Will) Trust
Created on death of founder. Governed by the will and the Trust Property Control Act. Common for estate planning, minor children, special needs beneficiaries.
Inter Vivos (Living) Trust
Created during lifetime. Widely used for asset protection, estate duty planning, and business succession. Taxed at 45% unless special trust status applies.

Your data. Your control.
Before you begin, here is how Klar handles your financial information.
Local-first by default — your financial data is stored only on this device. Nothing leaves without your explicit opt-in.
Optional cloud sync — if you sign in, data is encrypted and stored on Supabase. You can delete it anytime from Settings.
Optional AI Advisor — sends a financial summary (no raw transactions or names) to Groq's servers in the USA for processing.
Bill Hub — logs the bill reference and amount you enter, then opens the provider's own official portal in a new tab for you to pay directly. Klar never collects or sees your card details.

1. Introduction
Klar is a personal finance management application that runs entirely in your web browser. This Privacy Policy explains how your personal and financial information is handled. Klar is built on a local-first principle: your data stays on your device unless you explicitly choose to enable optional cloud or AI features.
Klar does not collect: government ID numbers, full bank account/card numbers, biometric data, or SARS/HMRC tax credentials.
3. Where Your Data Lives
📱Local only (default): All data is stored in your browser's localStorage on this device. Nothing is sent to any server. You can clear it at any time.
☁Cloud Sync (optional — opt-in): If you sign in, your data is encrypted in transit (TLS) and stored on Supabase Inc servers. You can delete your cloud data at any time from Settings → Privacy.
🤖AI Advisor (optional — opt-in): When you send a message, a financial summary (average income, expenses, account count, debt count) is sent to Groq Inc for AI processing. Raw transactions, names, and account numbers are not transmitted.
💳Bill Hub (no card data ever collected): Bill Hub logs the reference and amount you enter, then opens the utility or service provider's own official portal in a new tab for you to complete payment directly with them. Klar has no payment processor for this feature and never receives, sees, or stores your payment card details.
