Superannuation Tax Deduction. Are You Eligible?

It is not long now till the end of the financial year.  Now is the time to think about what opportunities and strategies are available to improve your financial position.

If you’re planning on contributing to super, you may be eligible for a tax deduction for the current financial year provided you do so prior to June 30. 

If you hold investments such as a rental property or managed funds and have used investment debt to purchase them, you may choose to pre pay the next 12 month’s interest.  This may allow you to bring forward those deductions and use them this year. 

This could prove to be a wise strategy if you don’t have sufficient deductions for the year - particularly if you find yourself in the highest tax bracket.  

No one likes paying tax, however if you’re paying tax it means you’re earning money which is a positive thing.  It’s paying “unnecessary” tax that we should avoid. 

Don’t let these next weeks left of June simply be about having to endure those annoying “EOFY runout sale” ads on TV. 

Use the time wisely.  If you leave it until July 1st, it’s too late.   The above tax strategies can’t be applied retrospectively.  Of course, any tax planning strategy needs to be considered in relation to your individual circumstances. 

At Hindsight we’ll be working hard during this busy period to help our clients achieve their financial goals.  Would discussing your tax game plan be valuable to you?

Times are tough. How can you position yourself to minimise the impact?

The last few weeks have been extraordinary to say the least. We’re battling a world wide health crisis and we face uncertainty in many aspects of our lives.  It’s true that there are simply some things beyond our control and we will more than likely see many changes to our everyday lives for the remainder of 2020 and beyond. So, what can be done?  On the other side of this, many people will be left with dramatic financial stress, whether it be periods of unemployment, depleted cash reserves or battered superannuation balances.  And for many, timing will be an issue. Those who were weeks ago contemplating retirement may now need to change their plans. And those that are still accumulating for retirement have more than likely just seen their investments and superannuation return to levels of 5 or 6 years ago. Essentially the clock has be wound back in one way or another.  It may well be a good time to take stock and lay some foundations for when thing...

There is no better time than right now to review your super!

So by now we all know that Australian and global investment markets have fallen significantly, it’s on the news, in the papers and I’ve been publishing recent posts about it on LinkedIn. What’s causing it?   Truth is, it doesn’t really matter.  Oil prices are down, there’s talk of China slowing, commodity prices are down and so forth.  Historically there is always something occurring on the world stage that can cause negativity in markets.  Investors start to worry, they sell their investments at low prices, lock in losses only to have someone come along, buy them up and enjoy the gains as things recover. Warren Buffet, the world’s most famous stock market investor famously said, “The stock market is a device for transferring money from the impatient to the patient”. And we can see this today.  As I write this, global stock markets suffered a large decline over night, with the expectation being that the Australian market would follow this morni...

Are You Starting Again?

For those of you currently working in the resources industry, you would no doubt understand that the potential downside is the punishing rosters and long periods away from home that can take a toll on your family and personal life. Sure, the money is good for the most part, but it comes at a cost. Unfortunately, many marriages suffer irreparably and many industry workers find themselves having to “start again” after relationship breakdown and divorce.  It can be an extremely difficult time and apart from the emotional strain, there’s the stress of having to rebuild financially.  Quite often, you may find yourself in a situation where you’re left with minimal assets and essentially must start again. In this situation, it’s critical to make sure you have your superannuation structured and invested correctly. If you’ve come through a divorce with your superannuation intact, it may end up being your biggest asset. You really need to get it working for you. The othe...
