Transitioning to retirement
Looking to ease into retirement? A Transition to Retirement Strategy allows you to ease yourself into retirement by moving to part-time work, supplementing your salary via your super and benefiting from tax concessions.
Benefits of a TTR
The Transition to Retirement (TTR) strategy is generally used for one of two reasons:
- create and build wealth leading into retirement.
- work less and maintain your income for a better lifestyle balance.
Build wealth
A TTR strategy can help you build wealth while you are still working. Potential benefits include:
- reduce your tax bill
- increase your super by salary sacrificing an amount of your wage
- make up any 'lost' income through payments from your retirement income stream
Work less
A TTR strategy can be used to achieve a better lifestyle balance if you decide to work less. Potential benefits include:
- get paid the same amount of money by drawing an income from your super
- cut down on working hours (there are no restrictions on the hours you work)
- move to a lower paid job.
