from when payments commence); and

• Assets test: 60% of purchase price as an asset until age 841, or for a minimum of 5 years, and 30%

New means testing of lifetime income streamsOne of just a handful of assets and income test “strategies”

31


• Assets above the lower assets threshold reduce Age Pension by $3 p.f. ($78 p.a.) for each

$1,000 of assets

• An assets test sensitive client (receiving a part Age Pension because of the assets test)

who reduces assessable assets by $1,000 will increase their Age Pension by $78 p.a.

• For an assets test sensitive client1, a $100,000 investment in an asset-tested income

stream (lifetime):

• Immediately reduces assessable assets by $40,0002 increasing Age Pension by $3,120

p.a. (40 x $78 p.a.)
