    My retirement is close at hand. I've contributed the maximum amount allowed under the concessional rules up to 30 June 2024. I'd like to deposited a considerable amount of non-concessional funds. Please do a video on the pros and cons of starting a second super' fund for non-concessional funds so that any money that remains as inheritance in the second fund for my children is not taxed. Love your KZread videos. Please keep up the great work.

    CGT is always payable on investment properties, however, if you retire and have no income the following financial year, when you sell the CGT drops from 30% down to as low as 10%.

    If I have an allocated private pension (transferred from a super accumulation account), I am over 60 will I NOT reconvert the tax break of 0% on earnings : 1. If I am a resident of any overseas country (solely ) amd non resident for tax purposes in Australia , 2. I am a resident for tax purposes in both Australia and the overseas country I live in (Indonesia )?

    Tax on superannuation earnings is levied at the superannuation fund level (Australian entity) not the member level. Therefore you residency shouldn't affect earnings. The pension payments, however, may be taxable in your name both under Australian tax law and the country you reside in - depending on the tax components of your super, your residency status and the other country's tax rules.

    There's a difference between contributions tax and earnings tax. Contributions tax of 15% is paid on SG and salary sacrifice contributions, whereas earnings tax is paid on investment income and capital gains within the account at a rate of up to 15%.

    I have a question. You mentioned that you should take the income from an allocated pension even if you don't need the funds because you can put some of this money back into super. But if you're retired and not planning to go back to work how can you continue to contribute to superannuation. Don't get it sorry. You can't add funds to an allocated pension once you start drawing down.

    My understanding is that you withdraw an amount from your pension account and make a non-concessional contribution to your accumulation account hence keeping it in a low tax environment as long as your Total Super Balance is not equal or above the TBC and/or you don’t have many assets outside super in which case it would be better to invest outside super given that the tax free threshold for an individual is 18 200 dollars

    From the same guide But thanks to changes in super legislation on 1 July 2017, more Australians are now able to make voluntary tax-deductible, concessional super contributions. If you are self-employed you can still do this, but now you’re also eligible if you: Earn salary or wages as an employee Earn investment income Receive a government pension or allowance Receive a partnership or trust distribution Earn income from foreign sources Earn superannuation income.
