The Strategy Stacker - Luke Talks Money

Luke on 2CC – Do kids pay tax on a super inheritance?


Listen Later

Financial Planner Luke Smith joined 2CC Talking Canberra 1206AM in Money Matters, which aired live on Friday 7 February 2025. The topic for this week is: Do kids pay tax on a super inheritance?  Many people don’t realise that your kids may pay tax on a super inheritance. And while we apparently don’t have any death taxes in Australia, this superannuation tax sure behaves like it, albeit called by another name. Is there anything you can do about it? Luke explores some strategies, including the re-contribution strategy. 

Thank you for joining us live on 2CC, YouTube or your favourite podcast streaming service with ‘The Strategy Stacker – Luke Talks Money’.

Key topics covered include:

  • What are the components of your super?
  • If you’re over 60 super is tax free for you, but it might not be not be for your kids when you pass.
  • What is a taxable component of super?
  • What is a non-taxable component of super ? 
  • What is a dependent and a non-dependent child?
  • How do you find out what your components are?
  • What are the steps to solve this tax problem for non-dependent children?
  • What are the benefits to using a new fund to re-contribute the withdrawn funds from.
  • Luke shares his key tips when considering and managing this super and estate planning issue.
