Australian Super Transfer to NZ
Have you worked in Australia? Have you considered the impacts of leaving or bringing your Australian Super back to New Zealand.
Australian and New Zealand share a long history, and many Kiwis have spent time working across the Tasman. If you’re one of them, you may be thinking about transferring your Australian superannuation back to New Zealand.
However, there are a few things to consider before making the move. For example, you need to make sure that you’re eligible to transfer your funds, as not all Australian schemes allow this. You should also be aware of the differences between the two schemes, as this may impact when you’re able to withdraw your money.
Additionally, there may be tax implications associated with transferring your Australian super to New Zealand, so it’s important to seek professional advice before making any decisions. Finally, remember that once you transfer your Australian super to New Zealand, you may lose any insurance entitlements that were associated with your Australian scheme.
With all this in mind, it’s important to ask a professional like Retirement Taylor Made before making any permanent changes to your scheme. Contact us today.
