Debt recycling and borrowing to boost your super aren’t the same thing.
Where the borrowed money goes matters.
Debt recycling generally involves replacing personal debt with borrowing used for income-producing investments.
Contributing borrowed funds to super introduces different rules.
Before considering either approach, understand:
- How the interest is treated for tax
- Super contribution limits
- When you can access your money
- What happens if investments underperform
Interest on borrowing for personal super contributions is generally not tax-deductible.
An extra step can change more than the destination of your money.
