Hi,
That may make you worse off. Feel free to slag off if I have it wrong people, but with figures please.

Let's say you have 600k, gross yield of ff shares 7% [4.9% divi, 2.1% credit].
Therefore , in super fund, income of 29.4k.[ie no fc refund]
Now take it out, assume the same shares,
Gross income 42k: 29.4k cash, 12.4k fc
Tax payable on 42k, about 5k. But this is paid off by your credits, so no tax payable, but also, no refund of the other 7k credits.

So, final position, 29.4 k either way?

Now, you do save yourself the costs of running a smsf, but medicare levy comes into play?

Someone in this situation should not take my advice, but I would do one of 2 things.
1. put it in an industry fund
2. if I was taking it all out, I would have about most of it in unfranked divi paying shares or the like.
But if you do that, why not just do the same thing inside the super fund?

Most likely number 1

If I couldn't bear to be without my SMSF, I would have bugger all franking credits generating investments in it.

I'm making the assumption that the fund is in pension phase, and I've ignored the senior's offset
cheers

thanks Boomer. Does the Medicare levy get calculated on gross or net taxable income. So if your taxable income is zero, do you still pay the Medicare levy ?
