SuperGear for SMSFs

Accelerate your wealth with SuperGear - A lending facility for Self Managed Superannuation Funds

Achieving your investment goals can now be accelerated by making the most of the recently updated superannuation laws.

Changes to the superannuation laws means superannuation fund trustees can now borrow money to help purchase investment assets for their self managed superannuation fund (SMSF).

The ability to borrow can build on the taxation advantages currently available to complying superannuation funds and help a fund acquire a larger and more diversified portfolio of investments with a view to successful long term wealth accumulation. However, superannuation law is complex and penalties for non compliance can be severe, therefore careful management is paramount.

Commonwealth Bank’s SuperGear is an integrated financing solution that is designed to help you simply address all these crucial factors. It packages the power of gearing and makes effective use of the current laws applicable to your complying SMSF. SuperGear can help you make the most of the updated superannuation laws and accelerate your wealth accumulation capacity by:

  • helping you further diversify your investment portfolio by purchasing an approved investment property of your choice, partly funded by a limited recourse loan
  • giving you the opportunity to make more use of the significant income and capital gains tax rate advantages currently available to complying superannuation funds relative to other investment forms, including individuals, and
  • using a pre-packaged solution designed to be compliant with current superannuation and taxation law to simply and cost-effectively integrate with your existing SMSF.

SuperGear is now available to doctors at competitive rates through the MIGA Financial Benefits package, enabling geared investment in approved residential, rural or commercial investment property of your choice, including your medical practice.

The main additional advantages available through your SMSF borrowing funds to purchase the property from which your medical practice operates and leasing it back include:

  • the ability to more tax effectively structure lease payments from your medical practice to your SMSF and use the relative cost savings to help pay down the loan and build equity in the property faster; plus
  • the capacity to reduce any capital gains tax on sale of the property associated with any capital growth derived since its acquisition by the fund. In fact, no capital gains tax should apply to fund members who have subsequently reached pension phase.
