When a member meets a condition of release, they become eligible to commence a pension using some or all their superannuation balance. The pension establishes an income stream for the member, with a minimum payment requirement each financial year.
Superannuation cannot be accessed until a member has met a condition of release and then certain cashing restrictions may apply. There are several conditions that can be met, and many are linked to major life events. Once a member meets one of these conditions of release, they are entitled to establish a pension and begin withdrawing their funds. These conditions include:
- Attaining preservation age (Pre-Retirement Pension) A person’s preservation age ranges from 55 to 60, depending on their date of birth.
- Retirement (after attaining preservation age).
- Ceasing gainful employment after attaining age 60.
- Reaching age 65 Permanent incapacity or Death (certain beneficiaries entitled to receive pension on death of member).
Further information can be found on our Pension Fact Sheet.
If you are eligible and wish to commence a pension, please contact your Client Manager or complete the following Pension Establishment Request Form.
- Tax and member impacts of transactions are reconciled each month which helps you and your adviser manage your Fund’s tax position and make adjustments before year end.
- We act as Tax Agent and ASIC Agent (optional service) to ensure that compliance obligations are met.
- We prepare the Financials, Taxation, and Independent Audit for the SMSF annually and update the SMSF transactions monthly.
