How super works 8 Super is a tax effective long-term savings plan that enables you to save money for your retirement and is, in part, compulsory. There are different ways that you and your employer can contribute to your super. While you are working, your employer is, in most cases, required to make contributions to your super account (known as compulsory super or Super Guarantee). Generally, you have the right to choose the super fund to which these contributions are made. You, your employer, Spouse or third party may also be eligible to make voluntary contributions. There are some limits on the contributions that you can make to super. There are also restrictions around when you can access your super. However, when you reach age 65 or your preservation age and have retired, you can access your super savings as a lump sum or receive a regular income stream through a pension account. There may be other circumstances when you can access your super. A pension account allows you to draw a regular income from your super savings in a tax effective manner. What contributions and rollovers can be made into my super account? Types of superannuation contributions The following table provides details about the types of contributions that can be made to your super account. Please speak to your financial adviser if you require further information about any of these contributions. Contribution type Personal Spouse Employer What is this contribution? You may decide to make regular or lump-sum contributions. Personal contributions are member contributions made by you or on your behalf, and include payments from: foreign superannuation funds eligible proceeds that relate to capital gains tax (CGT) small business concessions payments that relate to structured settlements or orders for personal injuries Personal deductible contributions where you may be entitled to a tax deduction for your personal contributions. Your Spouse may make a member contribution for your benefit. This must be made from after-tax money and will be treated as a non-concessional contribution. Your spouse may be eligible for a tax offset of up to $540 when making a spouse contribution. Your employer may make employer contributions for your benefit. This includes employer additional and salary sacrifice contributions. Salary sacrifice is an arrangement between you and your employer whereby your employer makes a contribution to your ANZ Smart Choice Super account instead of making an equivalent gross payment as salary to you. An Employer Additional contribution occurs when your employer makes a contribution greater than Superannuation Guarantee which is not salary sacrifice. Contribution type Third party contributions Government co-contribution Government low income superannuation contribution # What is this contribution? These are contributions made for you by anyone other than your Spouse or employer. Sometimes these are called family and friend contributions. If your income is less than $49,488 p.a. (2014/15) and you make personal contributions to super you may be eligible for a government incentive of up to $500. The government contributes up to 50 cents for every $1 of personal contributions you make, subject to a maximum $500. The amount paid by the government depends on your income. Any government contribution is made to your super account by the Australian Tax Office (ATO), provided you have lodged your tax return (conditions apply). A government contribution of up to $500 (nonindexed) is payable for persons with adjusted taxable income * of up to $37,000 (non-indexed) (conditions apply). This contribution effectively offsets the tax (up to $500) on concessional contributions. # At the time of writing, the Government has proposed to discontinue the Government low income superannuation contribution. Please refer to the ATO or visit our website for up to date information. * Adjusted taxable income includes taxable income, reportable employer superannuation contributions, personal deductible contributions, adjusted fringe benefits, target foreign income, total net investment losses, government tax free pensions/benefits less child support paid. Who can contribute? The following table outlines the rules relating to who can make super contributions. Your age Under 65 At least 65 but under 70 At least 70 but under 75 Who can contribute You, your spouse, your employer and a third party. You, your spouse, your employer and a third party, provided you have been gainfully employed* for at least 40 hours during any 30 consecutive day period in the financial year. Your employer must make compulsory employer contributions. You and your employer, provided you have been gainfully employed* for at least 40 hours during any 30 consecutive day period in the financial year. Your employer must make compulsory employer contributions. 75 and over Your employer must make compulsory employer contributions. * Gainfully employed means being employed or self-employed for gain or reward in any business, trade, profession, vocation, calling, occupation or employment. Personal and employer contributions may be accepted (other than compulsory employer contributions) on or before the 28th day of the month following that in which you turn 75 if you have been gainfully employed. Generally, the Trust cannot accept and must return: member contributions made by you or on your behalf if you have not quoted your Tax File Number (TFN) to the Trustee certain non-concessional contributions that exceed $540,000 if you are under 65 years of age at 1 July of the financial year that the contribution is made, otherwise $180,000 p.a. (indexed) if you are age 65 or over contributions made if you are age 75 or over unless they are mandated employer contributions.
Government co-contributions If you are a low or middle-income earner you can take advantage of the super co-contribution payment by making eligible personal super contributions to your Super account. The government will then contribute up to $500. The government co-contribution details for the 2014/15 financial year are shown below: 2014/15 Maximum co-contribution* $500 Taper rate* 3.33c per $1 Lower income threshold $34,448 Upper income threshold $49,488 * The taper rate determines how much the maximum co-contribution is reduced for each $1 of total income that exceeds the lower income threshold. The maximum co-contribution completely phases out when the total income reaches the upper income threshold. Example: John is eligible for the co-contribution. His total income for the 2014/15 financial year is $$44,488 and John has made a $1,000 after-tax super contribution. The government co-contribution is $167, i.e. $500 [($ 44,488 $34,448) x 0.0333] = $167. Government low income superannuation contribution # A government contribution of up to $500 (non-indexed) is payable for persons with adjustable taxable income* of up to $37,000 (nonindexed) (conditions apply). This contribution effectively offsets the tax (of up to $500) on concessional contributions. # At the time of writing, the Government has proposed to discontinue the Government low income superannuation contribution. Please refer to the ATO or visit our website for up to date information. * Adjusted taxable income includes taxable income, reportable employer superannuation contributions, personal deductible contributions, adjusted fringe benefits, target foreign income, total net investment losses, government tax free pensions/benefits less child support paid. Rollovers These include benefits transferred from another super or rollover fund and may be done as part of setting up a new superannuation account or pension account, or when adding to an existing superannuation account. How can extra contributions be made to my super? There are two main ways to make extra contributions to super. Voluntary (after-tax) contributions After-tax contributions include contributions you make from income that has already had income tax applied to it. The advantage of making after-tax contributions is that they are tax free when you access your super on retirement. Only the investment earnings on the after-tax contributions are subject to tax. Also, if your total income is less than $49,488 p.a. (2014/15), you may be eligible for the government co-contribution. Salary sacrifice (before-tax) contributions Salary sacrificing to super is an agreement between you and your employer for you to forgo a portion of your salary in exchange for your employer making an employer contribution to your super account. Salary sacrificing can be a tax effective way of increasing your retirement savings. The sacrificed portion goes directly into super and generally is taxed at 15%. Salary sacrifice contributions to super are included in the definition of income for certain government payments. Your employer may be required to report salary sacrifice contributions to the ATO as reportable employer superannuation contributions. To make salary sacrifice contributions or to find out more, speak to your employer and/or your financial adviser. Can I split my contributions with my spouse? Superannuation law permits members to split their eligible contributions with their Spouse in certain situations. The law also allows trustees to place additional requirements relating to how, when and in what circumstances it will accept contributions splitting applications. The Trustee has a Contributions Splitting Policy which sets out additional requirements. It is important to be aware that restrictions may apply to your ability to split contributions made to the Trust once you join the Trust, in particular taking into account the following factors: when exiting the Trust any minimum balance requirements the timing and type of contributions made to the Trust where you have not lodged relevant tax documentation the timing of your splitting application request. If you intend to split eligible contributions made to the Trust, you should seek advice on the legislative requirements before you decide to join the Trust. Do limits apply to how much can be contributed to my super account? The government has placed caps on concessional and non-concessional contributions. You should monitor contributions made into your account as there are taxation consequences for exceeding the caps. For further information on the contributions caps and how they apply, please see below and speak to your ssfinancial adviser. 9
Concessional contributions Concessional contributions include: employer contributions (including compulsory and salary sacrifice contributions) personal contributions for which a tax deduction is allowed certain foreign superannuation fund amounts certain third party contributions. Concessional contributions are limited to $30,000 (2014/15) per annum if you are under 50 before taxation consequences apply. If you are 50 or over as at 30 June 2015, the concessional contributions cap is $35,000 (unindexed). The concessional contributions cap of $30,000 is indexed to Average Weekly Ordinary Time Earnings (AWOTE) but will only increase in $5,000 increments. Concessional contributions which are split to a Spouse are assessed against your cap and not your spouse s cap. There are exemptions to the concessional cap which include the taxable portion of the vested amount of a foreign superannuation fund transfer and the untaxed element of a rollover super benefit. Non-concessional contributions These contributions include: personal contributions for which no tax deduction has been allowed Spouse contributions non-taxable portion of a foreign superannuation fund amount. There are exemptions to the non-concessional cap which include: government contributions contributions that relate to capital gains tax (CGT) small business concessions up to a lifetime limit of $1.355 million (2014/15 indexed) payments that relate to structured settlements or orders for personal injuries (no limits apply). Non-concessional contributions cap Amount (2014/15) Annual cap $180,000 Maximum with 3-year bring-forward option $540,000 If you are less than age 65 at 1 July of the financial year in which the contribution was made, you may use the 3-year bring-forward option. The bring-forward is automatically triggered when your after-tax contributions are more than $180,000 in a particular year. Contributions for a prior period We may accept contributions on your behalf, if we are satisfied that the contribution relates to a period during which the Trust may have accepted the contribution, even though the contribution is actually made after that period. Excess contributions It is important for you and your adviser to monitor your concessional and non-concessional contributions to ensure they do not exceed the contribution caps. concessional contributions in excess of the concessional contributions cap will be included in your assessable income and taxed at your marginal tax rate. You will be entitled to a tax offset equal to 15% of the excess concessional contributions. An interest charge also applies to your account for the deferral of tax payable. You can elect to withdraw up to 85% of your excess concessional contributions from the Trust. Depending upon the amount withdrawn, excess concessional contributions may also count towards the non-concessional contributions cap. If you make excess concessional contributions you will be sent an excess concessional contributions assessment and a voluntary release authority. non-concessional contributions in excess of the non-concessional contributions cap will generally be subject to tax at the highest marginal tax rate plus medicare levy. If you make excess non-concessional contributions you will be sent a release authority by the ATO detailing your excess contributions tax liability. For excess non-concessional tax liabilities, you must pay the liability out of your superannuation monies. To withdraw the tax liability from your superannuation monies, you must provide a release authority to the Trust within 90 days, otherwise it will expire. You should provide it to the Trust as soon as possible because you may become liable for an interest charge and an administrative penalty after 21 days. The ATO may present the release authority to the Trust should you not do so. The Trust will pay the lesser of: the amount specified in the release authority, or your account balance. Are there restrictions on withdrawing money from my super account? Accessing superannuation benefits The government has put rules in place to restrict when your superannuation benefits can be accessed. These rules, known as preservation rules, help to ensure that your superannuation savings are used for retirement purposes. You may receive your benefit as a lump sum if you satisfy a condition of release (restrictions may apply). Generally, you may also elect to transfer or rollover to commence a pension. A transition to retirement pension may also be available. Access to your superannuation savings will depend on the preservation status of your benefit, based on the following categories (these rules do not apply to Temporary residents): Unrestricted non-preserved These amounts may be accessed at any time. Restricted non-preserved These amounts may be accessed on leaving the service of a contributing employer or when preserved benefits are payable. 10
Preserved These amounts can only be accessed on meeting a condition of release. Conditions of release include: reaching your preservation age and you have permanently retired* reaching age 60 and subsequently ceasing a gainful employment arrangement reaching age 65, whether you have retired or not permanent incapacity terminal medical condition severe financial hardship (limits apply) specified compassionate grounds (limits apply) reaching preservation age (payment restricted to a transition to retirement pension) death temporary incapacity # * Permanently retired means ceasing an arrangement of gainful employment and never intending to be gainfully employed for ten or more hours weekly. Gainful employment means being employed or self-employed for gain or reward in any business, trade, profession, vocation, calling, occupation or employment. Permanent incapacity means the Trustee must be reasonably satisfied that you are unlikely, because of ill health (whether physical or mental) to engage in gainful employment for which you are reasonably qualified by education, training or experience. Terminal medical condition means that the following circumstances exist: a. two registered medical practitioners have certified, jointly or separately, that the person suffers from an illness, or has incurred an injury, that is likely to result in the death of the person within a certification period that ends not more than 12 months after the date of the certification b. at least one of the registered medical practitioners is a specialist practicing in an area related to the illness or injury suffered by the person c. or each of the certificates, the certification period has not ended. # Temporary Incapacity means the Trustee must be reasonably satisfied that a member has, because of ill-health (whether physical or mental), temporarily ceased gainful employment but the condition does not constitute permanent incapacity (conditions apply). A terminal medical condition payment to another superannuation or pension fund is not a rollover superannuation benefit for taxation purposes and is assessed against the non-concessional contributions cap. You should speak to your financial adviser for further information on terminal medical condition payments, as consequences may apply.

If you are a temporary resident and you permanently depart Australia and no longer hold a visa, we are obliged to transfer your unclaimed super to the ATO after six months of your departure or cessation of your Visa (as notified by the ATO). Irrespective of whether you later return to Australia or remain overseas, you can apply to the ATO for release of your super. Transferred super benefits can be claimed via the ATO s website at ato.gov.au On transfer of your super benefit to the ATO, you will cease to be a member of the Trust. In this case, we are not required to provide you with an Exit Statement or any other exit disclosure. If you become an Australian or New Zealand citizen or permanent resident, the obligation to transfer your super benefit to the ATO does not apply and you can continue to be a member of the Trust. This section does not apply to Temporary residents, who satisfied a condition of release before 1 April 2009. For information on the rules for accessing super applying to these members, please speak to your financial adviser. How do I receive an income stream in retirement? If you are retired, semi-retired or about to retire, and have met a condition of release, you may be able to transfer your superannuation savings to a pension account. This can be used to draw down regular pension payments from your superannuation savings. Pension payments Pensions pay a regular income stream (pension payments) from your retirement savings subject to a minimum annual amount set by the government and maximum annual payment for transition to retirement pensions. Minimum payment The minimum annual pension payment is first calculated when you start your pension and is recalculated each year on 1 July using your account balance and age at that date. Lump-sum withdrawals You may withdraw all or part of your Pension account balance at any time by completing a Benefit Payment form. However, if it is a transition to retirement pension restrictions apply. 11
If you withdraw a lump sum, legislation does not allow your minimum income level to be recalculated, based on the new account balance, until the following 1 July. We may also be required by law to ensure you have taken your minimum pension payment (pro-rated) for the current year. Any additional pension payment that is required to be made will be processed before the withdrawal. A withdrawal will generally consist of two components taxable and tax free. You are required to draw down proportionately from these components. Before withdrawing from your pension, you should speak to your financial adviser about any tax implications. You should also speak to your financial adviser for further information on terminal medical condition payments, as consequences may apply. A terminal medical condition payment to another superannuation or pension fund is not a rollover superannuation benefit and is assessed against the non-concessional contribution cap. Please refer to Making a withdrawal from your Pension on page 14 for more information on withdrawing from your Pension account. How does the Dominion Super and Pension division work? Becoming a member You become a member of the Superannuation Master Trust when you have submitted all the relevant documentation, including an Application form and a rollover or contribution has been received on your behalf. The Trustee reserves the right to accept or reject an application without giving a reason. Super Division Making contributions You can make your initial and additional contributions by cheque or BPAY. Where BPAY is elected, the initial contribution can only be made once your account has been established by the Trustee and your account information has been provided. We must receive your initial contribution within 120 days of you receiving your Welcome Letter, otherwise the account will be closed. Easy Payment Easy Payment is an electronic funds transfer method that deposits your contribution directly into your account without the need to submit any paperwork. To use Easy Payment you will need an Easy Payment BSB number and your own personal Easy Payment Account Number. You can obtain these numbers from the Welcome Letter you receive when you join the Trust, by contacting Client Services, your adviser or by logging into your online account. You are not required to submit further processing instructions when using Easy Payment. BPAY To make contributions via BPAY you will require a Biller Code and Customer Reference Number. The Biller Code you use is determined by the type of contribution you are making: Contribution type Biller Code Personal contribution (non-concessional) 212712 Employer superannuation guarantee contribution 110262 Employer salary sacrifice contribution 212738 Employer other contribution 110254 Spouse non-concessional contribution 212704 Your Customer Reference Number can be obtained from the Welcome Letter you receive when you join the Trust, by contacting Client Services, your adviser or by logging into your online account. You are not required to submit further processing instructions if you contribute via BPAY. Direct Debit Request (DDR) You or your employer can make regular contributions by completing a DDR form. Deduction of contributions will then commence from your nominated Australian financial institution account on a monthly, quarterly, half yearly or yearly basis on the 25th of the month. To use the direct debit facility the Trustee requires that you: read and understand the DDR agreement, and complete and return the DDR form. You can vary the amount deducted from your nominated account at any time by providing us with a written request. If you wish to change the financial institution from which your contributions are deducted, then you must provide us with a new DDR form. Cheque If you or your employer make a contribution by cheque, please ensure that the cheque is made payable to the Dominion Superannuation Master Trust and is crossed Not negotiable. In specie transfers You can also transfer acceptable assets into the Trust as a contribution or rollover. This is known as an in specie transfer. Acceptable assets include any managed investment or listed security that is on the Dominion Investment Menu. For information on how to complete an in specie transfer, please speak to your adviser. Processing contributions Contributions will be invested according to your investment instructions. Small amounts, generally less than $1,000 per managed investment, may not be invested due to investment costs and/or minimum investment requirements. In this circumstance, the applicable amount will be retained in your Cash Account. Consolidate your super Many people who have had several jobs often have more than one super account. Having multiple accounts makes it harder to manage your superannuation and may mean paying more in fees than you should. Rolling over other superannuation balances you may have into the Trust provides the many benefits of consolidating your superannuation into one account. You just need to complete a Transfer Request Authority form and your adviser will do the rest. 12
Some funds may charge an exit fee to transfer your superannuation, please check with the administrator of your other fund/s for details. Before consolidating your super you should also consider any other adverse consequences for you (e.g. loss of benefits such as insurance cover or increase in investment risk). For more information about consolidating your superannuation please speak to your adviser. Choice of fund The Trust is a complying superannuation fund able to accept all types of superannuation contributions. Provided you are eligible to choose a fund under the government s Super Choice legislation, you can nominate the Trust to receive compulsory employer (superannuation guarantee and/or award) contributions. If you wish to do this, simply return to your employer a completed Section A of the Standard Choice form (which your employer can give to you), along with the Dominion Complying Fund Letter which is available from your adviser, our website or by contacting Client Services. Transferring between Super and Pension Transferring between the Super and Pension divisions is easy. If you choose to transfer your balance between the same managed investments, with the same amounts, you will not incur transaction costs (buy/sell spreads) and there will be no capital gains tax on transfers as the trustee remains the same. Pension Division The Pension Division allows you to roll over your superannuation benefit to an allocated pension or Transition to Retirement allocated pension. If you intend to claim a tax deduction for personal contributions (or vary this amount) please ensure you do so while in the Super Division, prior to rolling over to the Pension Division. Commencing a pension If you are retired, semi-retired or about to retire, and have met a condition of release, you may be able to rollover your superannuation benefit from your existing Dominion Super account or from another superannuation fund into a Dominion Pension account. This is an arrangement where you invest superannuation savings and regularly receive an income stream from a pension account, as long as there are funds in your account. You can nominate the level of payments you wish to receive and alter them at any time, provided that they are above the minimum limits set by the government. Also you may be able to withdraw a lump sum from your pension account at any time. Transition to retirement pension If you have reached your preservation age and are less than 65 years of age and would like the security of a regular income stream, even if you are still working, a Transition to Retirement pension within Dominion could be a suitable solution. A Transition to Retirement allocated pension is the same as an allocated pension, except you generally cannot make lump sum withdrawals from your account, unless under exceptional circumstances. You also cannot receive pension payments of more than 10% of the account balance of the pension in a financial year. Funds used to invest in a Transition to Retirement allocated pension will become fully preserved regardless of their prior preservation status. This means that until you satisfy a condition of release, the only way of accessing your funds will be through a pension payment from your Transition to Retirement allocated pension. Pension payments Minimum payment Your pension payment each year must be greater than or equal to the minimum limits set by the government. This minimum is based on your age and account balance and is calculated upon the commencement of your investment. Minimum percentage factors Age of beneficiary Under 65 4% 65 74 5% 75 79 6% 80 84 7% 85 89 9% 90 94 11% 95 or more 14% For example, if on 1 July you are 65 years of age with $100,000 in your allocated pension, you can nominate to receive a pension payment above or equal to the following in the financial year. Minimum amount: $100,000 x 5% = $5,000 If your pension starts on a day other than 1 July, the minimum payment for the first year is pro-rated. This is applied proportionately to the number of days remaining in the financial year following (and including) the commencement date of the pension. Where the commencement date is after 1 June, no payment is required for that financial year. For example, if you are 64 and commence a pension with $100,000 on 1 November, your minimum pension payment will be calculated as follows: Pro-rated minimum amount: $100,000 x 4% x (No. of days from 1 Nov to 30 June/365) = $4,000 x 242/365 = $2,650 These examples are provided for illustration only, are based on the factors stated and should not be taken to contain an estimate or guarantee. Maximum payment For Transition to Retirement pensions, a maximum annual pension payment equal to 10% of the account balance will apply each year. If you choose to obtain the maximum amount for the Transition to Retirement allocated pension, it will not be pro-rated. The maximum pension income payment is first calculated when you start your pension and is recalculated each year on 1 July, using your account balance at that date. 13
