Australian Catholic Superannuation Transition to Retirement Pension Account

The difference could save you thousands of dollars in tax – each year until you retire

When your superannuation savings are converted into a pension account the investment earnings on funds in the pension account become free-of-tax. Rather than wait until retirement, perhaps at age 65, your retirement savings can start to earn tax-free income from age 55* - even as you continue to work.

This is money that could be adding to your retirement savings, year after year as you continue working. In addition, salary sacrificing some of your income into your superannuation account and using pension income as replacement income can boost your retirement balance even more.

The independent superannuation monitor, SuperRatings Pty Limited, has rated the Australian Catholic Superannuation pension as a Platinum level fund, the highest rating available. You can be confident knowing that our pension is rated so highly. * For members born before 1 July 1960

Are you aged 55 years or more, still working, and want to maximise your retirement savings?Example: Andrew is aged 55 and wishes to continue working full-time for several more years so that he increases his superannuation savings ahead of retirement. He has been saving in three different superannuation accounts for several years, but he felt he could be doing better. After meeting with a financial planner at Australian Catholic Superannuation he was advised to do two things:First, consolidate his three superannuation accounts into the one account with Australian Catholic SuperannuationSecond, convert most of his newly combined superannuation balance into a transition to retirement pension account.Andrew starts an Australian Catholic Superannuation transition to retirement pension account with $350,000 (leaving $5,000 in his super account), and chooses to receive the allowed maximum $35,000 pa (10% of his account balance) as a monthly pension paid into his bank account. In doing this Andrew saves tax because investment earnings on his $350,000 in the pension account is now tax-free.
