How can I save taxes now I’m 60?

What changes with super now that I’m 60.

  • You may be able to access super in various ways
    • Lump sum if not working
    • Transition to Retirement Income Stream if working
    • Account Based Pension if you have a post-age 60 retirement event (NB this is a defined event – please seek advice)

Can I generate bigger tax deductions than I’m currently getting.

  • If you can access more cash you may be able to
    • Put more into super including
    • To look back over previous year’s unused tax deductions

Can I and should I pay more off my mortgage.

  • If you take income from your employer, pay taxes and Medicare and then pay your mortgage, you might be paying more tax than paying the same off your mortgage by passing the money through superannuation.
  • If circumstances allow you to pay less tax, you can direct that tax saving to your mortgage for a win-win.
