Can I spread my withdrawals over a period of time so as to enjoy the 50% tax concession?

Yes, if you withdraw your SRS savings at or after the statutory retirement age that was prevailing when you made your first SRS contribution or on medical grounds. The maximum period over which you can spread your withdrawals is 10 years. The 10-year period will start from the date of your first such withdrawal. The 10-year period does not apply to investments in life annuities. So long as you continue to receive your annuity streams in perpetuity, the 50% tax concession will apply.  While you may make partial withdrawals in the form of investment for eligible withdrawals, an SRS operator would not be able to approve your application to withdraw, if the investment to be deducted cannot be separately valued or identified (e.g. where the SRS investment that the SRS member wishes to withdraw from his SRS account is an inseparable part of an insurance policy).
