Superfund Salary Sacrifice
moneyGPS has identified that you have an Opportunity to enhance your superfund balance by completing a Superannuation Salary Sacrifice Advice Plan.
Suitable for anyone who wants to save tax and can afford to build on their savings assets in Super.
Why is Superfund Salary Sacrifice important?
You have the Opportunity to increase your superfund balance by making pre-tax contributions to your fund.
Salary sacrifice is when you put an extra amount into your super fund, to help accelerate your retirement savings - before you pay any tax.
It’s a great way to boost your super, as well as saving some tax along the way.
We’ve had a look at your situation and think this may be an opportunity for you given you have a healthy cash flow.
Our advice will provide you with a fully compliant assessment of the level of contributions to be made under this arrangement which will: reduce before-tax income - a potential benefit which could reduce the amount paid in income tax for the financial year.
There could also be further tax benefits as investment earnings made inside the super environment are taxed at a maximum of 15% (but is likely to be lower with imputation credits) which may be lower than your income tax. This could make a difference when super savings are eventually withdrawn for retirement.
How You Will Benefit from Expert Advice
at a fraction of the Normal Cost
The moneyGPS Super Salary Sacrifice advice plan will help you to improve the position of your super.
moneyGPS has created Australia’s first digital advice tool that will help you determine how much would be an appropriate amount to start contributing to your super. It will also show you projections about the impact this will have on your super and show you why it is in your best interests.
You will receive professional advice for less than $300 compared to paying $’000’s if you went to a traditional financial planner and you may be able to pay for it from your super account
The plan provides you with a compliant Statement of Advice (SoA or ‘Money Map’) in relation to making a ‘Salary Sacrifice’ contribution into your super fund.
This is on top of what your employer pays you under the super guarantee. It involves a reduction in your take-home pay, but it also means you could increase your retirement savings while also potentially reducing what you pay in tax.
Case Study
Let’s look at one example of how this simple but effective strategy can make a difference to your end super balance and help your retirement nest-egg.
Sam is 28 years old and has been loving his job for the last couple of years as a Marketing Coordinator and earns $55,000 per annum. During his annual review, he received a pay rise of $10,000 a year. He is trying to decide whether he should take the $10,000 as extra income or use it to boost his super through salary sacrificing.
Based on 2021-22 tax rates
This example is exclusive of any HELP debts
By salary sacrificing to super
Sam would pay the concessional tax rate of 15% on any salary sacrificed super contribution up to the threshold (currently $27,500 a year, including super guarantee contributions). This effectively means his super account balance would increase by 85% of the pre-tax contribution.
