Voluntary Superannuation contributions before EOFY

As the end of the financial year approaches, now is the perfect time to think about your superannuation.

According to Synergy Consolidated's Managing Director, Angie Barnard, making voluntary contributions to your super can have significant benefits.


"Voluntary contributions to your super can help you build a larger retirement nest egg, and potentially reduce your tax bill at the same time," says Barnard.


"By making after-tax contributions to your super, you can take advantage of the low tax rate that super funds offer, which could be lower than your marginal tax rate."


Angie also notes that making voluntary contributions can help you reach your retirement goals sooner.


"The earlier you start making contributions to your super, the longer your money has to grow, thanks to the power of compounding returns," she explains.


However, Angie also advises caution when it comes to making voluntary contributions.


"It's important to keep in mind that there are limits on the amount you can contribute towards your super, and exceeding these limits can result in penalties," she says.


"Before making any contributions, it's important to speak to a financial advisor to make sure you're making the most of your retirement savings while staying within the national guidelines."


At Synergy Consolidated, we can help you make the most of your superannuation and ensure that you're taking advantage of all the tax benefits available to you.

Instant Asset Write Off, coming to end 30 June 2023. Are you needing any plant & equipment before 30 June 2023? A popular scheme since inception, the instant asset write-off comes to an end 30 June 2023. The instant asset write-off allows eligible businesses to claim an immediate deduction for the business portion of the cost of an eligible asset in the year the asset is first used or installed ready for use. “The incentive was very popular when it was legislated several years ago now.” Dan Chappel, Synergy Consolidated managing Director said. With a growing finance arm, Synergy Business Finance have noted a number of clients purchasing assets for delivery and use by 30 June 2023, before the scheme will cease. “Stock and supply can be a concern since COVID, with many businesses ordering plant and equipment with long lead times” Marcus Barnard, Synergy Business Finance Managing Director said. Eligibility to use the instant asset write-off on an asset is dependent on a few key factors, including: Your business aggregated turnover The date the asset was purchased The date the asset was first used or installed ready for use Whether the asset is new or second hand The instant asset write-off eligibility criteria and thresholds have changed over the years, so checking with your Accountant or Tax advisor to confirm eligibility will assist with your purchasing decisions and correct taxation treatment. While, getting in now to secure stock to be delivered and ready for use before 30 June 2023 is paramount. Long lead times on plant and equipment are affecting supply chains, and delays could mean ineligibility for the instant asset write off. Therefore it is important to confirm timeframes and availability now before it is to late. To discuss Instant Asset Write offs and your eligibility in further detail, you can contact your Synergy Consolidated Client Services Advisor of Accountant directly. Or if you’re interested in a Plant or Equipment purchase, you can discuss options with our finance team at Synergy Business Finance .
