Industry Super

What is Industry Super You May Be Asking?

Industry Super are the default super funds for most Industries from the Building Trade to Nursing to Clerical and Administration. Q Super, Hesta and SunSuper are just a few of the options available. From July 2005, as an Australian employee (with some exceptions) you are able to choose the fund into which your employers pay your superannuation in to. In turn industry super funds were no longer industry specific, which means you have more choice where your money goes.

Despite choice of fund being an option for most Australian workers, most workers (over 70%) stick with the default fund their employer chooses. We at Coast Financial Planning on the Gold Coast and In Hervey Bay will do a complete review of your current Superannuation fund and provide you with the best advice that suits your needs. You may be in the best superannuation for your needs already and if so we will recommend you to continue as you are. It’s always worth having a professional second opinion on your superannuation as this can effect when and how much you will have in your fund at retirement.

Personal Super

Personal Superannuation Funds are superannuation’s set up by the individual and take them wherever they work. These tend to offer access to direct shares and have greater flexibility to insurance providers and their premium payments. Examples of these are MLC Master-key Super, Colonial First State Superannuation, AXA North Personal Superannuation and many more.

You can boost your super by adding your own contributions to your super fund or into your spouse’s super fund. This is beneficial if your partner has taken time out of work to bring up a family and you would like to boost their super when they return to work.

Personal super contributions are the amounts you contribute to your super fund from your after-tax income (that is, from your take-home pay).

These contributions:are in addition to any compulsory super contributions your employer makes on your behalf. They do not include super contributions made through a salary-sacrifice arrangement.

Personal contributions are non-concessional (after-tax) contributions and will count towards your non-concessional contributions cap unless you have claimed a tax deduction for them.

If you would like to retire earlier than the current age of 67 then it’s a good idea to look at personal Superannuation funds so you have more control of your funds and also you can personally boost your fund each year if needed.

At Coast Financial Planning here on the Gold Coast and Hervey Bay we will undertake a complete review of your current Superannuation funds and reveal to you any changes that are necessary, particularly if you are thinking of retiring earlier than the age of 67 it is a good idea to get your funds working for you the best way you can.

Employer Super

Employer Super is the superannuation typically offered by small to medium sized companies. They are used as a “default fund” if the employee does not choose their own superannuation.

As an employer the super guarantee (SG) must be paid on all employees who earn above $450 per month before tax. The super guarantee (SG) is currently at 10% of your ordinary time earnings.

As an employer you must pay the SG at least four times a year by the quarterly due dates.
