Contribution strategies – BEE innovative

National Conference 2023

The super contribution rules were significantly relaxed on 1 July 2022, creating new and further opportunities for many super fund members.
 
For super fund members aged 67 to 75, the 1 July 2022 changes meant that some could make contributions for the first time in a long time, while also causing advisers to re-think how a range of common advice strategies are delivered going forward.
 
In this session we will look at some key contribution strategies that have emerged from the changes, including:
  • Recontribution strategy – where it works, where it doesn’t and could Part IVA apply?
  • Downsizer contributions from age 55 (which are preserved until a condition of release is met), and the interaction with other contribution caps and Total Super Balance
  • Unlocking and maximising tax benefits of making super contributions while navigating potential pitfalls
  • Small business CGT contributions – now easier to make beyond age 67 and interaction with other contribution caps
  • Increasing concessional contributions using an ‘income swap’ strategy involving a transition to retirement pension or a retirement phase pension.
