Investment Bonds

Investment in bonds are again an attractive investment option in Australia due to the lowering of tax rates for bond investment income.

Investment bonds are more advantageous if you wish to invest for the long term rather than the short term. They can also be advantageous if you are paying higher marginal tax.

Income from investment bonds do not need to be recorded upon your tax return unless you withdraw within 10 years, and even in the case where a withdrawal is made before this point, tax rebates are available.

Investment bonds can accommodate estate planning, superannuation alternatives and education savings plans.

Minimal initial contributions range beginning around $75 and additional contributions at $500. Financial planner can provide further information, such as Colonial First State, ING and AXA.

See a financial professional before making investments as this information is general in nature and cannot take into account your personal financial situation.
