What is a Transition to Retirement (TTR) pension? In 2005, the Federal Government introduced laws designed to allow working Australians access to their superannuation This was made possible by establishing a ‘transition to retirement’ (TTR) pension with your existing super savings TTR pensions can allow you to: 1.Boost your lifestyle by reducing your working hours without reducing your income 2.Boost your retirement savings without impacting your income if you are still working 3.Boost your income so you have more money to cover your everyday living expenses. 2

What are the benefits of a TTR pension? You salary sacrifice some of your pre-tax income into your super account. This money is taxed at 15% inside super, compared to your marginal tax rate You start drawing an income from your TTR pension: If you’re between ages 55-60, this income is taxed at your marginal tax rate. However, you are entitled to a 15% tax offset. After age 60, this income is generally tax-free. By changing the structure of your income, you can use the savings to boost your super Also, once you start a pension account, all investment earnings on your pension account are exempt from tax 3

Things to think about These are some important considerations when assessing the suitability of a TTR pension: Concessional contribution caps limit the amount of your pre-tax salary you can contribute into your super tax-effectively Will your employer reduce its compulsory superannuation contributions (Superannuation Guarantee)? If you are under 65 and still working, you are restricted to receiving an income payment of 10% p.a. (maximum) from your TTR pension 22

Wanting to retire with a better future? A TTR strategy could help you reach your financial goals in retirement It’s important to seek individual advice about your circumstances 23
