Move into a more privileged tax environment

Article Abstract:

Starting an allocation pension after April 1 carries an entitlement to defer starting the pension until after June 30, which adds some cashflow flexibility to a retirement plan. A particular tax advantage is that the income and capital gains from the time the allocated pension begins is tax-free, compared with the concessional rates of up to 15 percent for DIY fund income during the savings phase and 10 percent for any capital gains.
