SUMMARY: Property strategies will need to adapt with new limits in super and pension funds. Here’s how. Last week’s backdown on the $500,000 non-concessional limit will have appeased some. But will have upset others. What now seems certain is that the $1.6 million transfer to pension (TTP) cap is here to stay. And that is […]
I’ve never been a protestor. I’ve never held aloft a banner, attended a march, or camped outside a building with a megaphone, demanding action, like, now. That’s not to say that I would never do it. I’ve just got this image that the people who do so are, well, hippies. (“What do we want? Naptime […]
SUMMARY: Coalition wavers, dumping $500k after-tax cap. But not without creating a few new superannuation victims. Treasurer Scott Morrison has caved to pressure from his backbench on the $500,000 non-concessional superannuation cap, announcing a major restructure of its policy. The $500k NCC limit, which was to be backdated to 2007, will be scrapped. The replacement […]
There are some things in life I simply won’t do. There is an equal amount Mrs DebtMan also refuses to lift a finger on. Sometimes, this is simply demarcation. Lines have developed over the years. She won’t do some things because she knows I will, or she insists that it’s my job. And, equally, in […]
SUMMARY: The $1.6 million transfer-to-pension cap … what you need to start considering now. So, you’re going to bust the cap. You’ve got more than $1.6 million in super. And you’re wondering what the proposed transfer-to-pension cap is going to mean. You’re going to have some decisions to […]
SUMMARY: Recontribution strategy users the real victims of retrospective $500k non-concessional contribution limit. The final hard sell on the government’s proposed superannuation overhaul started on Monday in Canberra. Politicians started returning to Canberra, and Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull and Treasurer Scott Morrison were continuing to sell the message that they don’t believe changes to the […]
SUMMARY: Canberra’s super pressure cooker is leaking – and agreement to lift the NCC limit could seal the deal. Treasurer Scott Morrison is on a mini-roadshow, selling his proposed superannuation changes. The odd thing is who he’s having to go the hard-sell to. Not the public, not the media, but his own government colleagues. […]
Is it possible to hold too much cash? If that sounds crazy, like a trick question, that’s because it is. And, therefore, the answer is the opposite of what you would believe it to be. Yes, it is possible to hold too much cash. Sure, we all love the folding stuff. The more you have […]
There is a group of people that, to the day I die, are going to confound me. But it’s mutual. I’ll never get them. And they’ll never understand me. Debt-haters. I’m not talking about those with a debt problem – where they’ve lost control of what they owe. I’m talking […]
SUMMARY: The unanswered questions! Here are my responses to the questions we didn’t get to in the inaugural Adviser Q&A. Thanks very much for the great response to the inaugural Adviser Q&A held last Thursday. It was wonderful to see so many questions come in. We couldn’t get through everything during our first Adviser Q&A […]
