8 Superannuation Changes from 1 July 2024 (Australia)

[@michaelt2805]

Absolutely awesome ! One of the easiest, most organised and plain English presentation that is actually thorough. Well done. Existing Financial Adviser. Thank you, Rui.

[@OZRuiShi]

Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm glad you found the presentation easy to follow and thorough. Your feedback means a lot, especially coming from an existing financial adviser. Thanks again!😊

[@gofindyourself6568]

very appreciative of the way you present and articulate these updates. over the last 18 months I have taken a more active role in managing and maximising my super - feeling far more in control and optimistic about the future. not sure who prepares and edits your slides and AV, but combined with your accessible and digestible presentation style, you have a winning formula. good luck with the evolution of your channel.

[@OZRuiShi]

Thank you for your kind words! I'm glad to hear that you're feeling more in control and optimistic about managing your super. I appreciate your support and encouragement. I edit the slides and AV myself, so your feedback means a lot. Good luck with your journey, and stay tuned for more updates! 😊

A well explained, video that is clear and concise. The visuals ( tables etc) are helpful and work well to aid the explanations given. This is fantastic information, presented in such a way that is easily accessible to the average person. There is a lot in the video that can help maximise how to utilise super to its best effect.

Thank you great simple explanations for Super. From what I understood from your clear explanation is that the rich get richer!.....typical government!

Thank you for your comment! I'm glad you found the explanations clear. It can feel frustrating how some policies seem to benefit the wealthy more. It's important to stay informed and advocate for fairer policies.

Excellent accurate information, knew most of it however learnt I had missed the increased limits and the increased tax free threshold.Will be forwarding this video to family and friends.

[@OZRuiShi]

Thank you! I appreciate you sharing this video with your family and friends. 😊

[@davidwright4211]

Hi Rui I have not been able to find effective tax free threshold of $22575 is there something I missed in the calculation. Or was proposed and not passed?

[@OZRuiShi]

@@davidwright4211 Thanks for your question! The headline tax-free threshold is still $18,200, but if someone has a taxable income of $22,575, they won't pay any tax due to the low-income tax offset (LITO) of $700. I made a video about this for FY24 - check it out here. kzbin.info/www/bejne/aWipaYSnoteFm7M&ab_channel=RuiShi I'm also working on an updated version that will be released in a few weeks. Stay tuned! ☺

[@bunniewood]

When super was 9.5% I was contributing extra so it was 11.5%. Also I thought that salary sacrifice was tax free. Not sure I should bother contributing anymore

[@OZRuiShi]

Thank you for your comment! It's great that you were contributing extra when super was 9.5% to make it 11.5%. While salary sacrifice isn't tax-free, it is taxed at a lower rate of 15%, which can still provide tax benefits compared to your marginal tax rate. Reviewing your contributions regularly is a good practice to ensure they align with your financial goals. 😊

[@oldvaliant]

@4:28 - If you sold a property and made a capital gain, for example, of $100,000 (after 50% discount) could you place this into your superannuation fund as a concessional super contribution (taxed at 15%) or would you first need to pay the CGT, and then distribute into the super fund?

[@OZRuiShi]

Thanks for your question! You can place proceeds into superannuation as a concessional contribution based on your available cap, including carry forward contributions. Remember to leave enough to pay for the CGT, which is typically due when you file your tax return next year. The money for the contribution doesn't need to come directly from the property sale. Hope this helps. 😊

[@dcasper5]

You are doing a great job. I should have started planning my retirement 23 years ago running out of time. Can you recommend a financial advisor for retirement in Perth?

[@OZRuiShi]

Thank you for your kind words! It's never too late to start planning for retirement. Unfortunately, I can't recommend specific financial advisors due to legal restrictions. However, you can use the Financial Advice Association Australia (FAAA) 'Find a Planner' tool to find a qualified advisor in Perth. Best of luck with your retirement planning!

[@alwayswinning3743]

Off topic: But If you were wanting to retire say 60 (I'm 41 but thinking about It now ;)) how much super you think needed?

[@OZRuiShi]

Thank you for your question! It really depends on your lifestyle and retirement goals. Many financial experts suggest aiming for a retirement income that replaces 70-80% of your pre-retirement income. For a comfortable retirement, some estimates suggest having at least $600,000 to $1,000,000 in superannuation. It's great that you're thinking about this now-planning early can make a big difference! I'll make a video on this topic in the future, so stay tuned! 😊

[@alwayswinning3743]

@@OZRuiShi damn that much? haha. I'm around 99K atm never put anything into It. Might have to start now.

[@xsaviour755]

I made mistakenly made a contribution of $40K in 2015 ( only had 60k) then. I had to pay $5k tax on it even though it was from a sale of the house. Is there a way to go back and use the rolling cap ?

[@OZRuiShi]

Thank you for your comment! Unfortunately, the carry-forward concessional contributions rule is relatively new and only started from the 2018-19 financial year. It can't be applied retroactively to contributions made before this period. I'm sorry to hear about your situation.

[@jamesstanley11]

income tiers should not be averages, they should be by percentage population

[@OZRuiShi]

Thank you for your comment! You make an interesting point.😊

[@m.h.t1286]

The information on non concessional tax contribution is a little confusing for me. Could you please clarify. I have been religiously use after tax contributions towards my super on top of SG from my employer up to the threshold (ie: $27500 for FY 23-24). Not only that, I also use the carry forward for FY 18-19 before 30th June 24 (which expired on 1st July 24). Then I submit the ‘Intent To Claim’ form with my super fund before submitting my tax return for FY 23-24. What you are saying in this video is I can’t claim a tax deduction by this method? Confused 🥺

[@m.h.t1286]

Ps: I understand this method is encouraged for ppl who has less than $500K in their super

[@OZRuiShi]

Hi there, thanks for your comment! I understand where your confusion might have come from. The Notice of Intent to claim a tax deduction essentially converts a non-concessional contribution (bank transfer) to a concessional contribution. So, you should refer to the parts of the video where I talked about concessional contributions rather than non-concessional contributions. Hope this clears things up! 😊

[@m.h.t1286]

@@OZRuiShi thank you

[@jate.photography]

@@OZRuiShi Thank you, that was my question as well. Watching the Concessional Contribution section of the video, is this then known as the "Personal Deductible Contribution"? Can you please explain what the difference between SG, Employer Contribution, Salary Sacrifice contribution and personal deductible contributions are given they all contribute to the same cap? Its a bit confusing why there are 4 different types here.

[@OZRuiShi]

@@jate.photography Hey there, thanks for your comment! To clarify: SG (Superannuation Guarantee): This is the compulsory 11.5% of your wages that your employer must contribute to your super. Employer Contributions: This includes SG and any other types of contributions your employer makes to your super. For most people, "employer contributions" and "SG" are interchangeable. Salary Sacrifice: This is an arrangement you make with your employer to contribute part of your pre-tax salary to your super, rather than receiving it as take-home pay. Personal Deductible Contributions: This is when you transfer money from your bank account to your super fund and then submit a Notice of Intent to claim a tax deduction for that amount. All these contributions are considered concessional contributions and together, they are subject to the concessional contribution cap. Hope this helps clear things up!

[@KempoWarrior1954]

Last year I went over the gap allowed ($27,000). The miserable government hit me for a tax bill. Now I hear they allow people to contribute up to $30,000. It stinks👎

[@OZRuiShi]

Thank you for sharing your experience. The changes in contribution limits can be frustrating. It's always good to stay updated on the latest rules to avoid unexpected tax bills.

There's always non concessional contributions. If your balance exceeds $500k you can longer use brought forward concessional contributions. Not a bad position to be in when you look at the stat's for average balances per age bracket. Very scary!

@@MyRay101 actually until 3 years ago I didn't know much about all these terminology. I am self employed so each year I just max out the annual limit, thinking that tucking away 25k per year to my future self. I have a SMSF, half of it owns commercial premises, the other shares. Somehow it manage to do quite well over time, and now seems well above 500k.

[@davidlean8674]

Pro Tip: If you want your audience to listen to you, there is no benefit in including a 30-second looping sound bed. It does nothing other than distract your listener & compete with you for their attention. The content was useful. The audio was awful, thanks to music embedded poorly.

Thank you for your feedback! I appreciate your honesty. I haven't received any other complaints about the music, but I'd like to make sure my videos are as enjoyable as possible. Could you let me know how you are watching this video? I'll look into it.

[@davidlean8674]

​@@OZRuiShi I watch on a PC with a good-quality headset. I watch videos at double time, which raises the pitch of both the speaker & music. This makes the repetition & ding da ding ding much more noticeable. It is high pitch, & as a female, you are higher pitch, so there is more overlap than a baritone would have. I'd point out I can still clearly hear your voice over the music, that is not the issue. I spend a lot of time presenting & mixing content. My point is every piece of one's content should contribute to your message. Ideally, the video, animations/diagrams, audio, and soundtrack should all work together. In good productions the soundtrack is subliminal. It helps to convey/stimulate emotion in the audience. eg: Watch a Hollywood movie & focus on how each element is mixed. When the actors are sad & not talking, the music is sad. When they start talking rarely is there background music. Thus, for the sort of quality educational material that you are creating. It is unlikely that a sound bed will add value. Maybe if you want it as an intro/ outro that is up to you. Cheers

I can hear Rui only, there is no other distractions. Can't figure out what some people complained about
