Superannuation & SMSF

Superannuation & SMSF is a great way to set money aside for retirement, money that lets you have an enjoyable life after you leave the workforce.

The money comes from contributions made into your super fund by your employer and ideally, topped up by your own money.

At Peacheys Investment Services Pty Ltd, we can give you expert advice on how to maximise your superannuation in the following 4 areas:

1. Tax benefits of superannuation

2. Cash flow benefits

Whilst getting older can be daunting, there certainly can be some benefits! The Income Tax Act allows for “more senior” business owners to lower their wages allowing extra cash flow through a mechanism called the Transition to Retirement Pension. This allows a portion of income to be earned from your superannuation fund with considerable tax benefits.

3. Employer superannuation (SGC)

Most people are entitled to compulsory super contributions from their employer. From 1st of July 2014, these super guarantee contributions must be at least 9.50% of your ordinary earnings, up to the ‘maximum contribution base’.

We can assist you with nominating a beneficiary and allocating a percentage of your benefit to be paid to each person nominated.
