Tax Effective Strategies

About
Tax Planning Strategies

One of the best features about superannuation is that you pay less tax on both the money you put into your super and the earnings it generates.

Super is typically taxed at when:

  • your contributions enter your fund (certain contributions)
  • your fund earns investment income
  • you withdraw benefits (tax-free if you’re over 60)

The superannuation taxation laws in Australia can be complicated, and change regularly. The system is intended to have low tax rates (a maximum of 15%) for contributions you and your employer make, as well as any investment earnings. And, generally, you will be able to withdraw funds tax-free in retirement (once you’ve reached your preservation age and meet a condition of release).

Once you start accessing your super, you should be in a tax-free environment (taxed at 0%). This means you keep more of your money on an after-tax basis compared to if you’ve been investing in some other structure.

Prior to accessing your super, there are a number of ways you can use super to reduce your income tax.

At Aspiri, we have 25 plus years’ experience in financial advice and are up to date with superannuation legislation, trends and strategies. We’ll advise you on the structure of your superannuation, to maximise your income and minimise your tax, setting up so you can access the amount you want to fund your lifestyle.

  • Additional contributions

    One way to increase your super and minimise your tax is to make salary sacrifice contributions and claim a tax deduction for any personal contributions you make to your super fund. You may also be able to add to your super by way of government co-contributions or contributions from your spouse.

    The maximum amount you may contribute to your super every year is known as the contribution cap. If you exceed the limit, you may be charged extra taxes.

    The cap amount as well as any additional tax owing depend on whether the contributions are concessional (before tax) or non-concessional (after tax).

    You can contribute more than the set limits, but you should be aware that any extra money may incur additional tax.

    We’ll look at how to best utilise your super contributions in a way that minimises your tax, depending on your goals and your individual circumstances.

  • Self Managed Super Funds

    Self Managed Super Funds (SMSF) are one of the best structures to minimise tax on your super. With SMSF, you have more control over your assets and investment decisions, which might help you manage the tax position of the fund.

    It is important for each individual to consider their own financial situation before committing to any decisions as a SMSF may not be suitable for you.
