Reversionary pension advantages can provide valuable certainty and continuity for beneficiaries after the death of a superannuation member. However, while reversionary pensions offer several planning benefits, they can also create unexpected consequences for Total Super Balance, contribution caps and SMSF tax outcomes.
Reversionary Pension Advantages:
- Automatic continuity
- 12-month TBC grace period
- Potential planning time
Potential Risks:
- Earlier TSB inclusion
- NCC cap disruption
- SMSF tax changes
- Complex timing traps
Bottom Line:
Reversionary status may provide time in one area while accelerating consequences in another.
