24.01.2022 We looooove compound interest REMEMBER 'THE RULE OF 72'! If you want to know how long it will take to double your money with a consistent interest rate, divide the interest rate into 72. For example 7% return year on year for 10.3 years doubles your money: 72 divide by 7 = 10.3. ... GET COMPOUNDING!! https://youtu.be/wf91rEGw88Q See more

23.01.2022 So you have 'some' life insurance... 'you think'.... 'maybe through super'...??? Make no mistake - Life insurance (Death Cover, Total & Permanent Disability, Trauma/Critical Illness & Income Protection) requires advice and from someone who isn't tied to the insurance company they are flogging. Ask yourself these 6 questions:... 1. DO YOU HAVE CERTAINTY AT CLAIM TIME? 2. DO YOU HAVE AN UP TO DATE CONTRACT WITH FAIR DISABILITY & MEDICAL DEFINITIONS? 3. DO YOU HAVE THE RIGHT AMOUNT? 4. DO YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TYPE? 5. IS IT STRUCTURED APPROPRIATELY? 6. ARE YOU SURE YOU HAVE COMPETITIVE PRICING? We want to help - and we know what we are doing.

11.01.2022 INCOME PROTECTION - is 100% tax deductible! Did you know you can pay NEXT years annual premium before 30 June THIS year to collect your deduction in your next tax return?? https://youtu.be/J2B_56iTygU

10.01.2022 FRANKING CREDITS IN SUPER - THE ATO IOU! Plain Talk Translation: Share investments gives you 2 things 1. Growth (change in share price - up please) +... 2. Income (regular dividend income payments). A 'fully franked' dividend = a dividend that has already been taxed at the company tax rate (companies with greater than $10m turnover this financial year = 30% tax rate) TAX RATE IN SUPER IS 15% for those in super accumulation phase. BUT WAIT, YOUR DIVIDEND HAS PAID 30%... that's 15% too much! HELLOOOOO 15% TAX CREDIT Company shares paying fully franked dividends into your super are worth more than they seem. It gets better - give us a call.
10.01.2022 Welcome to this month's edition of On The Money :) http://www.videoupdate.me/on-the-money/merit-planning
09.01.2022 NOW is the time to start preparing for your End of Financial Year super contributions! DON'T MISS OUT ON YOUR DEDUCTION! Quick update from Jim: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3LgUrUeF99c&feature=youtu.be... * The higher concessional cap of $35,0000 applies for individuals who are 59 years old or over on 30 June 2013 for the 2013-14 financial year, or 49 years old or over on 30 June 2014 for the 2014-15 financial year. ** There is 15% tax payable by your fund on concessional (before-tax) contributions paid into a super fund. Your super fund usually reduces your super account by your share of this tax. *** From 1 July 2014 the tax rate applicable to excess super contributions will increase in line with the changes to the Medicare levy. For the 2014-15 financial year, the applicable tax on excess non-concessional contributions will be 47%.

08.01.2022 Why would I need an 'Enduring' Power of Attorney?? 1 in 5 people in Australia over age 65 are diagnosed with Dementia - that's why. ONLY AN 'ENDURING' POWER OF ATTORNEY (as opposed to a 'general' power of attorney) STILL APPLIES IN INSTANCES OF MENTAL INCAPACITY. https://youtu.be/qf8fQK7Ea7M
08.01.2022 Jim Mills presenting at the annual Merit Wealth Accountant conference - amazing group of people. Discussing insurance in SMSF's - lots to consider!
05.01.2022 On death, super benefits aren't taxed right? WRONG. Super death payouts aren't taxed IF paid to a 'financial dependant' - in general cases this will mean your spouse, or children under 18 years of age (see the below link for a full account of who is a financial dependant). However if your dependants happen to be adult children or anyone else non-financially dependant, say hello to the tax man (up to 31.5% depending on your tax bracket)! THERE ARE STRATEGIES THAT CAN ASSIST TO... REDUCE THIS TAX LIABILITY - guess what? It requires planning. Fore more information: https://www.ato.gov.au//withdrawing-your-super-and-payin/

02.01.2022 With the average life expectancy now at an all-time high, maintaining a healthy lifestyle is now more important than ever. What will you be doing when you reach 90?
01.01.2022 YOUR SUPER DOES NOT FORM PART OF YOUR ESTATE. Did you know your Will does not control how your super is distributed? The Trustee of your Super holds that power unless you have a Binding Death nomination in your fund. NOT ALL SUPER FUNDS ALLOW BINDING NOMINATIONS - does yours?
