4 The insurance opportunity According to a recent study*, the majority of Australians perceive life insurance as expensive, complicated and difficult to talk about. This results in many people delaying the decision to obtain life insurance, often indefinitely. However, insurance should be considered an essential element of a client s overall financial planning strategy. In fact, statistics reveal that: 88% of people interviewed feel life insurance is the best way to protect themselves and their assets 79% agreed life insurance is the best way to ensure their family is provided for if something happens to them 53% felt it s too risky not to have life insurance. * This is based on research conducted by Galileo Kaleidoscope from August to October 2008 for OnePath. Talking to clients about insurance By recommending insurance, you are helping your clients protect the wealth they ve worked hard to accumulate. During the fact-find stage, it is important to discuss with clients whether they would be able to meet their financial obligations, should something happen to the primary income earner. Some questions you could ask: How many people depend on you financially? Do you have an estate plan in place? What liabilities would you wish to discharge? What level of income would your family require in your absence? If you were unable to work for a substantial period of time, how would your family meet their day-to-day and ongoing living expenses? Dominion offers you access to award-winning insurance solutions allowing you to offer your clients a range of cover options that can be funded through super. These cover options include: Group Insurance Cover OneCare Insurance Cover To find out more about Dominion s leading insurance features please refer to page 4 of this guide.

5 Tax benefits of choosing insurance through super By choosing to fund insurance through superannuation, your clients are able to pay their insurance premiums tax-effectively from their cash account balance. Not only does this usually reduce the effective cost of your clients cover, it represents a convenient way to manage their premiums. Of course, your clients may continue to make additional taxeffective contributions to top-up their super including: pre-tax salary sacrifice contributions personal contributions spouse contributions Benefits of insurance through super Premiums paid through super will generally be tax deductible to the super fund and can reduce the tax paid on contributions Clients can access Death/Life Cover, Total and Permanent Disability (TPD) Cover and Income Protection Cover Clients dependants can receive tax-free lump sum death benefits Premiums are drawn from your clients cash account balances, reducing the risk of cover lapsing Clients receive greater cash flow flexibility by funding premiums from their super, rather than their direct income There is the ability to potentially fund a higher level of cover due to increased purchasing power through super Case study tax effectiveness of insurance through super Cameron, age 45, draws a salary of $100,000 per annum from his sign writing business, which he runs through a corporate entity. Cameron wants to be able to provide financial security for his wife in the event of his death. With the help of his financial adviser, he estimates he will need $1.2 million in combined Death and TPD Cover. Cameron s adviser suggests he obtain the benefits of this insurance through the Dominion Superannuation Master Trust. As Cameron names his wife as his dependant, she would receive this benefit tax-free in the event of his death*. His premiums are $2,000 per annum. Let s have a look at the savings Cameron can receive if he chooses to fund his insurance premiums inside super using his pre-tax salary: Outside super Inside super Premiums owed $2,000 $2,000 Amount of pre-tax income required $3,252 $2,000 Tax paid $1,252 $0 # Savings $0 $1,252 Cameron s sign writing business is left an additional $1,252 pre-tax because the tax on contributions into his super account is offset by a tax deduction for the premium (effectively meaning no contributions tax is paid). These tax savings could be paid as salary, which would put an extra $770 in Cameron s pocket after tax. Alternatively, he could take the amount as a super contribution, which would add an extra $1,064 in his super fund after contributions tax. Note that the figures used above are for illustrative purposes only. Your situation may differ depending on your marginal tax rates and we recommend that you seek independent tax advice for your personal circumstances. * This example is for illustrative purposes only and the outcomes would be different if non-dependants under tax or superannuation law were to receive part or all of the super death benefit proceeds. # $0 tax only applies if the super fund is able to claim a full tax deduction for premiums paid. 3
