This guide focuses on the tax and benefit access issues to provide key principles or ‘rules of thumb’ for insurance arrangements.

Deciding whether client insurance arrangements should be held inside or outside of super requires consideration of the tax, superannuation law compliance, benefit access and social security implications of each alternative. 

This guide includes a number of worked examples and incorporates recent changes that have impacted on the scope to hold insurance within super.
