1 Making the Most of Your Super For many people, super is one of the best ways to accumulate wealth. The Government provides tax benefits to encourage people to fund their own retirement. With more Australians living longer, you may spend more time in retirement than you will working which is good so long as you ve got the income! What is superannuation? While superannuation offers one of the biggest opportunities to secure your financial future, it really is just another form of savings. The main differences are that: You may be able to receive some powerful tax benefits on your super money You usually cannot access the money until you retire. There are various ways to accumulate money in super: If you re employed, your employer will generally make contributions for you each year, based on your salary. You can also make personal contributions if you choose to from either your: o o o before tax salary (salary sacrifice contributions by arranging with your employer to pay some of your salary into your super) after-tax salary (this type of personal contribution may entitle you for an additional Government co-contribution). Your spouse may contribute to your super on your behalf (and they may be eligible for the spouse contribution offset) or split their contributions with you. Why super can be important Tax benefits available from super can impact on how long your money will last in retirement. These benefits mean that money invested in super can last many years longer for you in retirement than if it was invested in the same way, outside super. Consider the chart below. It shows the value of investments made in super (the green line), versus the same investments made outside of super (the purple line). The results are very compelling. Rather than the investment income running out by age 74, tax benefits available from investing in super means there is income to live on for an extra eight years in retirement. Given you re likely to live past 80, you re probably going to need it. [Why save for retirement? With an ageing population and our average life expectancy increasing, it s now unlikely that the Government will be able to adequately provide for everyone in retirement. But even if the Government can, ask yourself if you would like to live on social security. Currently, the maximum payment you can receive in retirement is $19,643 1 pa for a single person and $29,614 1 pa for a married couple. 1 P a g e 1 Social Security amounts are effective from 20 March 2012 and includes the pension supplement. ]
2 SUPER VERSUS NON-SUPER INVESTMENTS This chart is for illustrative purposes only and is based on assumptions. A change to one or more of the assumptions and your personal circumstances will produce different results. This chart illustrates the difference in investing in super and outside super using the following assumptions: from age 26 to age 65, the investor uses $5,000 of pre-tax salary, indexed to inflation at 3% pa to either make a salary sacrifice contribution to super, without exceeding the concessional contribution cap, or invests outside super after paying income tax. From age 65, the investor receives a retirement income of $30,000 pa after tax, indexed to inflation at 3%. This retirement income is paid as a pension from super and from income returns and the realisation of assets, if necessary, outside super. Both investments inside and outside super earn a return of 7.7% pa net of fees but before taxes. Outside super, the investor is taxed on income returns and any capital gains from the realisation of assets to fund their retirement income at the marginal tax rate of 34%. Super earnings are taxed at 15% and from age 65 when the member commences their pension, no tax is paid on the super earnings or on the pension payments. How much super is enough? Working out how much money you ll need to access in retirement is a personal decision. Not only is the amount of money you need dependent upon your own lifestyle choices, you may have a range of income options in retirement which can supplement your super, such as part-time work or payments from other investments. The table below illustrates the level of monthly before tax or salary sacrifice contributions you may need to make to get a post-retirement income of $20,000 pa or $50,000 pa, based on the assumptions stated below the table. (For a tailored approach, Snelleman Tom can help you find out How Much Super is Enough ) INCOME IN RETIREMENT (BEFORE TAX) IN TODAY S DOLLARS 1 This level of contribution is in excess of the caps and will incur additional contributions tax (see notes 3 and 4 below). So please talk to a financial adviser before contributing at this level. This table is for illustrative purposes only and is based on assumptions. A change to one or more of the assumptions and your personal circumstances will produce different results. This table illustrates the estimated monthly contribution to super required from the age listed to support the payment of a pension, using the following assumptions. The contributions above include the 9% compulsory super contributions in addition to the monthly salary sacrifice contributions. The investor has a starting super account balance of $25,000. From the age in the table the investor makes the monthly contribution listed from before-tax contributions and is taxed by the fund at 15% until age 65. The investor takes a pension of $20,000 or $50,000 per annum. The investor s super provides a return of 7.7% pa net of fees but before taxes; investment earnings in super are taxed at 15% until the investor commences a pension, when no tax is paid. 2 P a g e
3 The rules on contributing to Super There are rules on when a super fund may accept your contributions. The following super strategies assume that you and your spouse: are under age 65 1 have supplied your TFN to the fund 2 contribute less than $25,000 3 pa tax concessional Contributions 4 contribute less than $450,000 3 pa over three years in after tax non-concessional contributions. 5 Otherwise you ll need to review these rules in more detail and consider seeking advice on whether you can use these strategies and if there are any additional taxation consequences that may apply to you. 1 If you are aged between 65 and 74 you must meet the work test to be allowed to make salary sacrifice contributions. This work test requires you to have worked at least 40 hours within 30 consecutive days in a financial year prior to making the contribution. Generally, a super fund can t accept super contributions when you reach age 75 (except mandatory employer contributions), or 71 for spouse contributions. 2 It is not compulsory for you to quote your TFN to the fund, if you don t, your before-tax contributions are taxed an additional TFN tax of 31.5% and your after-tax contributions may be refunded to you, less taxes, fees, costs, insurance premiums and reduced or increased for market movements. 3 These caps may be indexed in future years. 4 Your before-tax concessional contributions count toward your concessional cap. You will pay an additional 31.5% excess contributions tax on contributions in excess of the concessional cap. These excess contributions may also count towards your other non-concessional cap (see footnote 5). Your concessional cap for each of the and financial years is $25, The Government still intends to provide a higher concessional cap for individuals age 50 and over with super balances below $500,000. The implementation of this measure will be deferred until 1 July Your non-concessional contributions count towards your non-concessional cap. You will pay an additional 46.5% excess contributions tax on contributions in excess of the non-concessional cap. Your non-concessional cap for the financial year is $450,000 3 over three years if you are under the age of 65 in the financial year, or is $150,000 3 if you are age 65 or over in the financial year. Super contribution strategies The best way you can contribute to super can vary depending on your age, your employment status and in some cases your income level. If you re employed, it is more than likely your employer is already making some contributions on your behalf. You can also top up your super. Here are four super strategies to consider: 1 Salary sacrificing You can sacrifice some or all of your gross salary (i.e before tax income) and instead have your employer pay it into your super for you. This is called salary sacrifice. This can be tax effective as you pay a maximum 15% tax on the contributions below the contribution caps (as opposed to up to 46.5% outside super). This could also save you tax on your income because salary sacrificing reduces your taxable income. You may even move into a lower tax bracket. For example, if you were to sacrifice $5,000 a year, the table below illustrates the major effect that the tax differences can have on your investment. The financial benefit column shows the difference between investing this money in a super and non-super investment. 3 P a g e
4 INFLATION ADJUSTED PROJECTED BALANCES IN TODAY S DOLLARS This table is for illustrative purposes only and does not represent actual returns. A change in one or more of the variables and assumptions will produce different results. This is general information only and does not take into account your individual objectives, financial situation or needs. This table illustrates the position after 20 years of taking $5,000 pa of beforetax salary and either salary sacrificing it into super or taking it as cash salary and investing outside of super. It assumes investment earnings of 7.7% pa, after fees and before tax. Super investment earnings and contributions are taxed at 15% Non-super investment earnings are taxed at a marginal tax rate of 34.0%. All figures are in today s dollars, adjusted for inflation of 3.0% pa. Note: The Government has made changes from 1 July 2009 that mean salary sacrifice contributions may affect: your eligibility to make personal deductible contributions your eligibility for Government co-contributions the amount of other taxation, Government and Centrelink support measures which you may be entitled to. You should speak with your financial adviser for further information. 2 Self-employed Contributions If you re self-employed and make contributions to super, you may be able to claim a tax deduction on these contributions. There s no limit to the amount you can claim as a tax deduction. However, there are contribution caps which determine the rate of tax on your contributions. You should discuss your situation with your financial or taxation adviser before deciding how much to claim. In addition to tax deductible (concessional) contributions you can also make after-tax (non-concessional) contributions. You cannot claim a tax deduction for your non-concessional contributions but equally they are not taxed in the super fund. Non-concessional contributions are subject to caps also. If you exceed these caps, the excess amounts will be taxed at 46.5%. 3 Spouse Contributions Another tax concession, regardless of your employment status, is a spouse contribution offset, which may be available if you make contributions to your spouse s super. A spouse contribution is an after tax contribution that is invested into a complying super fund held in your spouse s name. By contributing to your spouse s super you can potentially receive a tax offset of up to $540 per year. You may be able to claim this 18% rebate on up to $3,000 of spouse contributions on your tax return if: You live together on a permanent basis. You are both taxpaying residents. Your spouse s assessable income plus reportable fringe benefits plus reportable super contributions is less than $13, (The full $540 offset is payable if you contribute $3,000 for a spouse who earns less than $10,800. If your spouse earns more than this, the offset reduces and cuts out when your spouse s income reaches $13,800.) 4 P a g e
5 4 Government Co-contributions If your total income 2 is less than $46,920 3 in the financial year and you top up your super by making after-tax (non-concessional) contributions, the Government will give you a super co-contribution. Depending on the level of your income and the after-tax contributions you made during the financial year, the Government co-contribution could be as much as $500. How is super taxed? Super is taxed at three stages: when it comes into the fund (super contributions), when it is in the fund (investment earnings) and when it leaves the fund (super benefits). You may think that this sounds like a lot of tax, but in many cases, super is still the most tax effective way for wage earners to invest. There are also many rules surrounding these taxes and many factors which will impact the amount of tax you pay. Tax on Contributions Your employer and salary sacrifice contributions will generally have contributions tax of 15% deducted as long as your contributions are below the concessional contribution caps. For most wage earners, this rate is likely to be lower than the marginal tax rates they pay (which may be up to 46.5%). Personal contributions that you make from your post-tax salary are classified as non -concessional contributions. You do not pay tax on these contributions as long as your contributions are below the non-concessional contribution cap. Tax on Investment Earnings Income which is earned in the fund (investment earnings) is taxed at a maximum rate of 15%. Compare this to the highest marginal tax rate for investment earnings outside super, which is currently set at 46.5%. The effective rate of tax varies from fund to fund, depending on the level of tax deductions in the fund plus any tax credits available. This may actually result in the tax being lower than 15%. Tax on Super Benefits 4 The amount of tax you pay on your super benefits depends on the type of super benefit, your age and whether you choose to receive your benefits as a lump sum or pension. The amount of tax will also depend on the tax components that make up your benefit. All super benefits, both lump sum and pension, are not subject to tax if you re age 60 or over 5 ; but if you access your super before age 60, you may have to pay tax, on all or part of your benefit. There may be tax advantages in rolling your super in to a pension, rather than taking it as a lump sum. For more detail on the taxation of your super benefit, you can visit the Australian Taxation Office s website at When can I access my super? You generally can t access your super until after you reach preservation age and declare retirement. This age is set by the Government. Currently, the preservation age is 55 but this is gradually increasing to 60 as outlined in the following table. 5 P a g e
6 Other ways 6 you may be able to access your benefits include: commencing a pre-retirement pension after reaching preservation age turning age 65 financial hardship 6 compassionate grounds 6 permanent incapacity 6 a terminal medical condition 6 death. 1 These thresholds apply for the financial year. 2 Total income is assessable income, reportable fringe benefits and reportable employer super contributions less business deductions (other than for work -related expenses or personal super contributions). 3 For the financial year onwards, the maximum Government co -contribution is $500 to match your personal contribution of $1,000. This was proposed in the May 2012 Federal Budget and is not law yet. This threshold is based on the assumption that the proposal will become law effective for the financial year. 4 There are different arrangements for temporary residents. These super benefits relate to Australian and New Zealand citizens or Australian permanent residents only. 5 This only applies to taxed funds. Different rates apply to untaxed funds, such as public sector funds. 6 Provided specific requirements and conditions are met. Eligibility conditions apply.
