Post tax time planning

The beginning of a new financial year is a good time to talk to your financial planner about some of the tax effective strategies that suit your situation and assist with your financial future, retirement and savings goals.

SMART Goals

The main concept around setting a SMART goal; is to be thoughtful about your goals, make them matter, ensure there is clarity, monitor their progress towards completion. Financial Advisers use this common concept to achieve their client’s goals and objectives.
According to Dr Edwin Locke, individuals who follow this formulation have higher performance in achieving goals than those who set easy goals:
  •  S – Specific
  • M – Measurable
  • A – Achievable
  • R – Realistic
  • T – Timely

Some examples of our client goals are provided below. Please keep in mind, these are examples only and we encourage all individuals to engage with a Financial Planner to discuss the best option for you.

The advantages of putting money into superannuation
  • Tax effective growth because you pay less tax on investment earnings inside super (15% as opposed to their marginal tax rate of up to 37%, plus medicare levy of 2%).
  • Making a Concessional Contribution may enable you to reduce your PAYG for the year.
  • Broader investment opportunities than sitting in cash or fixed interest (term deposit).
  • Reduce the amount of tax in retirement to maximise your retirement income.
  • With the expert help from a Financial Adviser, you have a structured plan in place to achieve your financial objectives.
