It's against the spirit of the, yeah, okay, get that for now.
But we highly recommend it.
You know, it's not a precursor to being deemed as tax resident.
It is an expat myth, usually purported by foreign advisors trying to get you to save into a 10-year olive man bond that charges 7% interest, sorry, 7% in fees.
No.
So if you have… What's that change?
If you have property…
So obviously as a non-resident, you don't have any Australian sourced income.
If you have property though, which is positively geared, Australian non-residents get taxed at 30% on the first dollar.
So let's say you own a property.
earning $20,000 a year, you'll pay 30% tax on that $20,000.
Or you can grab that 20 and chuck it straight into super as a concessional contribution, reduces your assessable income down to zero.
You pay zero income tax and you pay 15% contributions tax.
So you've now contributed to super and you cut your tax rate in half.
They would never do a concessional.
Well, you can, but you've got nothing to offset against, so you've just got to pay 15% contributions tax.
Yes, yes.
And we see a lot of folks doing that, unfortunately.
They make the wrong election contribution into super and they come to us, we do a statement of advice and we go, why have you been making concessional contributions for the last five years?
You don't have any Australian income.
