I’ve come across the article “How to get More Power out of Your Super Fund” that shows how investment into property may be accelerated by utilising Super and Unit Trust.
Some aspects of the article are not completely clear to me, and I was wondering whether someone would understand it better and clarify (maybe from previous experience):
- Why/How the “…money can be directed into the unit trust…”?
- How the money may be “…then returned, tax-free, as a capital return…”?
- Does this strategy really allow to “…use money taxed at just 15%, not up to 48.5% to pay off the property debt…”?
Regards.

Questions:Annually, of course, 9% of income is legislated in to their Super Fund, plus they can salary-sacrifice money at 15% tax. This money can be directed into the unit trust, and then returned, tax-free, as a capital return to John and Mary, who use it to pay down the original debt. In other words, John and Mary use money taxed at just 15%, not up to 48.5% to pay off the property debt they have in their own name.
