Superannuation is a retirement savings system introduced in Australia in its initial phase in the 1980’s and expanded substantially in the 1990’s. Often, contributions made into a superannuation fund come from the owner’s employer via compulsory employer contributions. Contributions are usually 9% of the individual’s income as required by law.
Superannuation is an investment platform that has tax benefits for the investor. Under specific conditions, extra contributions can be made by the superannuation holder. However, there are substantial penalties for those who unlawfully access superannuation early or do not comply with the strict laws regarding investment into superannuation.
The funds in your superannuation are managed by a fund manager to promote growth of your money. This could be through shares, management funds, savings accounts, international investments or a combination.
Another form of superannuation fund that is gradually rising in Australia is the self managed super fund, often referred to as SMSFs. This form allows you to have a greater say in how the fund is invested and may have a wider array of investment options including direct property, art and even vintage cars. The benefits (including tax benefits) of self managed super funds or SMSFs may be great. However, setting up and operating an SMSF can be difficult. The law provides a range of stringent and austere requirements that must be met. A breach of the law can lead to heavy and severe repercussions. It is therefore vital that you consult a Chartered Accountant or Lawyer before you embark on such a path.
