We support Adam BanDT
What kind of world do we want for ourselves? And for our kids? Under the Howard Government, Australia has become a less fair place to live. And dangerous climate change is now just around the corner. In recent times, I have been proudly standing side by side with African Australians and speaking out against the government’s appalling statements. We must keep the door to Africa open and share this country with our families and newcomers. In Parliament, only The Greens will push for: • A $30 weekly increase in the pension; • Money to go to public schools and health care instead of to the private sector; • Getting rid of the harsh Centrelink activity tests, work requirements and assessments; • NO WAR IN IRAQ; • Ripping up WorkChoices and individual workplace agreements; and • Taking URGENT action on climate change by having a large-scale ‘renewable energy’ public works program that will create jobs. We only have 10 years to get it right on climate change, and none of the major parties have any short-term targets to cut greenhouse gas pollution. The Greens are effective, and we stand on issues of principle. We speak out on the issues that matter – like David Hicks, ‘welfare to work’ laws and the war in Iraq. Help me create a future that our children and grandchildren will be proud of. Please call me on 9328 5784 if you would like to know more.

Investment update Extreme market volatility has continued despite decisive action locally and globally to stabilise the impact of the credit crunch on financial markets. Panic selling and price instability has made the last few months extremely difficult for investors. Domestically, the RBA has taken dramatic steps to support the Australian economy by cutting official interest rates by 3% over the last four months, much of which has been passed on to homeowners. While it is disconcerting to experience the rollercoaster ups and downs of volatile markets, it’s important to keep the performance of your pension in context. The four years ending 30 June 2007 delivered
bumper performance to Australian investors and super funds — so much so, that we are now used to high double-digit returns. Faced with the shock of negative performance, it’s natural to be disappointed. The key for sound investing is to understand that negative years are a completely normal part of the investment cycle, even if the current performance is worse than we have been used to in recent years. Remember, investing your super is a constant trade-off between risk and return. It’s important not to lose perspective and make kneejerk decisions about your long-term finances, even in retirement. Visit www.transpension.com.au to read more about volatile markets and the investment cycle.
What this means for your pension Negative returns mean that pension accounts invested in our Balanced or Equity Plus investment options have decreased in value this year, instead of growing. This will have implications on your regular pension payments, because a lower total balance means that your minimum payment limit (and maximum payment limit if you have one) will change.
These limits change regularly because you are drawing down on your pension capital by taking regular payments. The change in your pension payment limit may, however, be more noticeable now than it has been previously and the new limits will mean that your pension payments will be smaller than they would be if your investment options had recorded a positive return.
Investment markets deliver a bumpy ride. In tough times, the benefits of being part of an industry super fund are even more important.

Please note:
SALARY SACRIFICE
If salary sacrifice is so good, why doesn’t everyone do it? •
•
•
You should also note that law requires that any contributions you make, whether before-tax or after-tax personal contributions, are preserved, meaning that you cannot generally take these contributions as cash until you reach your preservation age (currently age 55) and permanently retire.
For a start, not all employers offer salary sacrifice to their employees. You should ask your pay office whether salary sacrifice is available and for more details.
Is there a limit on how much I can salary sacrifice?
Also, the tax treatment of before-tax and after-tax contributions is different so, in some cases, making before-tax contributions may not suit your investment or taxation strategy. You should seek professional advice.
Yes. The Government imposes a number of restrictions on superannuation contributions. The Government has imposed an annual cap of $50,000 on ‘concessional’ contributions. These include:
The amount and effective rate of super contributions that your employer must make on your behalf (including the required SG amount) may fall after a salary sacrifice unless your employer agrees (through your employment contract), or because the award requires, that contributions are to be made at the pre-salary sacrifice amount. This reduction may occur because the amount of your pay on which super contributions are calculated falls.
So, it is important to confirm that your employer will continue to make super contributions for you based on your pre-salary sacrifice earnings. •
•
Other benefits that are linked to the amount of your salary (such as annual and long-service leave entitlements) may also be reduced as a result of a salary sacrifice arrangement.
• •
•
contributions paid by an employer on your behalf; salary sacrifice contributions (treated as employer contributions); and contributions you make when you are self-employed (or substantially self-employed), for which you have claimed a tax deduction.
Any concessional contributions over the $50,000 cap will be taxed at the highest marginal rate plus Medicare levy. Any amount in excess of the cap will also count towards the separate cap on non-concessional contributions. A transitional concessional cap of $100,000 applies to members aged 50 and older until 30 June 2012. Note that there may be other limits on how much of your pay can be salary sacrificed (eg award minimum pay rates).
Interested? Need a form? As each employer is different, you will need to discuss salary sacrificing with your pay office.

Driving your super forward
For a comfortable retirement, the experts say that you’ll probably need around 60% to 70% of your annual working income. While the Superannuation Guarantee contributions (9%) your employer must make for you are a good start, they may not be enough. You can improve your chances for a comfortable retirement by topping up your super account with your own money – called ‘personal contributions’.
What are my options for making personal contributions? After-tax contributions (Non-concessional contributions) All Transuper members can make contributions from after-tax salary as either a regular deduction from your net pay, as a direct debit from your bank account, by cheque or Bpay . ®
Before-tax (salary sacrifice) contributions (Concessional contributions) If your employer agrees, you may be able to make contributions from your before-tax salary. This is also known as making salary sacrifice contributions. Salary sacrifice contributions must be pre-arranged through your pay office as a deduction from your gross (before-tax) pay. You should contact your pay office to confirm whether salary sacrifice is available and for further details.

Salary sacrifice contributions can increase your take-home pay! The following example assumes an annual income of $48,000 based on 2007/2008 tax rates. Let’s say you are already contributing $200 a month to Transuper from your after-tax pay and you want to know what would happen if you switch to before-tax contributions. Let’s assume your gross monthly pay is $4,000 and your marginal tax rate is 31.5% (including 1.5% Medicare levy). As the following example shows, by switching from after-tax to before-tax contributions, you can increase your monthly take-home pay by $63.

You pay no income tax on the contribution because it comes out of your gross pay. Tax is payable on the contributions to Transuper (deducted from your Transuper account) at a rate of 15%. Between ages 55 and 60, concessional contribution withdrawals over $145,000 are taxed at 15% plus Medicare levy. Concessional contribution withdrawals under $145,000 are not taxed. Once you are aged 60 and over, no tax is payable on withdrawal.
Calculate the difference online! The Government has a calculator online that can show you the difference at retirement if you make voluntary personal contributions to your super account. Visit www.fido.gov.au and click on ‘Calculators’.
15% super tax versus up to 46.5% income tax!
Why we need your Tax File Number (TFN)
Salary sacrificing means you forego part of your salary in exchange for your employer making additional super contributions on your behalf.
Under the Superannuation Industry (Supervision) Act 1993, your superannuation fund is authorised to collect your TFN, which will only be used for lawful purposes.
You pay no income tax on these contributions because they are deducted from your gross pay. But you do pay contributions tax of 15% (deducted from your Transuper account).
These purposes may change in the future as a result of legislative change. The trustee of your superannuation fund may disclose your TFN to another superannuation provider, when your benefits are being transferred, unless you request the trustee of your superannuation fund in writing that your TFN not be disclosed to any other superannuation provider.
For most people, 15% contributions tax is a more generous alternative than income tax, which is usually somewhere between 31.5% and 46.5% (including the Medicare levy). Note that you may also need to take into account the tax payable (if any) when you withdraw your super.
It is not an offence not to quote your TFN. However giving your TFN to your superannuation fund will have the following advantages (which may not otherwise apply): •
•
•
•
your superannuation fund will be able to accept all types of contributions to your account/s; the tax on contributions to your superannuation account/s will not increase; other than the tax that may ordinarily apply, no additional tax will be deducted when you start drawing down your superannuation benefits; and it will make it much easier to trace different superannuation accounts in your name so that you receive all your superannuation benefits when you retire.

Streamline super. Save fees. Simple.
The more superannuation accounts that you have, the more fees you pay and the harder it is to keep track of your savings.
Pull all your super together and cut the fees by completing the attached form. Then leave it to us. We will organise for your other super to be rolled into your legalsuper account.
