03.01.2022 Have you heard the term Salary Sacrifice and never knew exactly what it meant? In this post we are going to briefly explain what it is and how it can work for you. What is it? ... Salary Sacrificing is when you agree to give up part of your future salary in return for your employer paying a contribution of a similar value to your super. This means that you receive less after tax and more is put into super. How does it work for me? This helps your super balance increase It reduces the tax you assuming you earn at least 50k. What are the limits? Concessional Contribution cap (before tax money) is currently at $25k. Please note that if you go over your cap there is additional tax that you must pay. The maximum age at current is 75. What to do next? 1. Ask your employer if they allow salary sacrificing and if it impacts your super guarantee payments. 2. Talk to us about what your goals are and how you can use salary sacrifice to your advantage. 3. Put the agreement with your employer in writing Let us do a case study: Judith's story Judith, aged 50, is a teacher earning $80,000 in the 2013/2014 financial year. She currently saves $11,000 a year and wants to start building up her super. Judith's financial planner suggested she salary sacrifice $16,744 instead of putting her $11,000 in super from her after-tax income. By salary sacrificing $16,744, Michelle is still taking home the same amount. However, she is better off salary sacrificing compared to putting her $11,000 savings into super. She's paying $5,744 less in income tax and she will be adding $3,232 more to her super each year. This example is illustrative only and not an estimate of the tax savings you will receive. Please talk to us about your individual circumstances. *The Government has doubled the contributions tax from 15% to 30% from 1 July 2012 for individuals earning more than $300,000 pa. Give us a call on 03 9890 2999 to arrange an appointment to discuss how salary sacrificing can help you. Disclaimer: this is general information and is not be viewed as personal advice.
