2. The TTR criteria You must have reached your preservation age Must be purchased with super rollover monies only Allows you to continue working either full-time or part-time but access your super by way of a pension You can convert all or part of super to a pension No lump sum access until retired Minimum pension 4% p.a. of account balance (3% for the current financial year due to temporary relief). Maximum pension 10% p.a. of account balance Can be rolled back to super if required – conditions apply

3. Advantages of a TTR pension Allows you to transition from full-time employment to part-time employment Give yourself a pay rise Allows you to work full-time and access your super prior to retirement Salary sacrifice tax savings Can be structured to maintain current net income No 15% tax on investment income or 10% CGT on the pension assets

4. Advantages of a TTR pension The only tax you pay is on the pension income you draw Some or all pension income may be tax free A 15% tax rebate applies for those aged 55 to 59 If you are over 60 you will pay no personal tax on the pension income you draw Ability to draw a ‘lump sum’ by taking an annual pension upfront Super split contributions from younger to older spouse

5. Disadvantages of a TTR pension You will need 2 separate super accounts, a pension account and an accumulation account You can’t draw a lump sum until retirement You must draw a minimum pension income every year Your pension account could run out Maximum pension limited to 10% of your account balance each year Unable to make additional contributions to pension account. A new pension must be established
