27 May 2026 · 15:29 · Watch on YouTube

Description

Rob Goudie and Ash Rowan discuss a crucial strategy for retirees looking to minimize potential death benefit taxes on their superannuation. Ash shares a real-life case study of a retired couple with a $1.3 million superannuation balance that is fully taxable. They explore the complexities of taxable vs. tax-free components within superannuation and how changes to CGT and negative gearing can impact estate planning.

The discussion delves into a "recontribution strategy," a method of withdrawing funds from superannuation and recontributing them as non-concessional contributions. This process aims to increase the tax-free component of the superannuation balance, thereby reducing the tax liability for beneficiaries.

Key topics covered:

- Understanding taxable and tax-free components of superannuation.
- The impact of recent budget changes on superannuation.
- A detailed explanation of the recontribution strategy and its benefits.
- How to leverage contribution caps and the "bring forward" rule across financial years.
- Practical considerations, including managing multiple account-based pensions and prioritizing withdrawals.
- The role of recontribution strategies in aged care planning.
