Superannuation and retirement planning information
Compulsory superannuation has been around since 1992, but there is still a lot of confusion about its purpose and how it works.
Our Super Guide for beginners tries to answer everything you wanted to know about super but were too afraid to ask.
We also discuss super’s role in Australia’s retirement income system. We cover compulsory and voluntary contributions and how they are taxed, and how your savings are invested and taxed inside super. And finally, when and how you can withdraw your retirement savings and what happens to any super that’s left when you die.
