166. First Home Saver Super Scheme
Manage episode 454830599 series 3559707
Welcome back to another episode of the 360 Money Matters Podcast!
In this episode, we discuss the First Home Saver Super Scheme (FHSSS), which helps first-time buyers save for a property deposit using superannuation. We highlight its tax benefits, such as contributions taxed at 15% instead of higher marginal rates, potentially saving individuals thousands annually compared to regular savings. However, we note the scheme’s complexity, with restrictions like annual and lifetime caps, making professional advice essential. While we commend its potential, we advocate for simpler rules and higher savings limits to increase accessibility.
