Don’t bequeath your super to the ATO | AMA Financial Planning

 

Who would you prefer your leftover super to go to?

If you were to die before you’ve had a chance to spend all your super, who would you prefer to receive what’s left over? Your loved-ones or the ATO?

Many super accounts include a taxable component. So, before it’s transferred to your beneficiaries, it may be taxed. Unless you can take advantage of the re-contribution strategy, which involves withdrawing the taxable component from your super and then re-contributing it as non-taxable contributions. This strategy has saved some clients tens of thousands of dollars. But it’s not a no-brainer. Whether and when you’re eligible, the amount you can re-contribute and the way you do it, all require a great deal of technical expertise. That’s where we come in.
