Welcome back to another episode of the 360 Money Matters Podcast!
In this episode, we discuss the differences between offset and redraw accounts, key financial tools for managing mortgage payments. We outline how both accounts reduce mortgage interest but differ in terms of flexibility and tax implications. An offset account, linked to a mortgage, allows daily transaction access, providing flexibility and potentially larger tax deductions if the property becomes an investment. In contrast, a redraw account holds excess funds paid toward the mortgage, which can be withdrawn, though with less flexibility and potential tax disadvantages for investment purposes. We also share strategies for utilizing offset accounts to manage lifestyle expenses efficiently, and emphasize the importance of understanding these accounts to maximize tax benefits and avoid costly errors.
Tune in to this episode to understand the real differences between offset and redraw accounts, and learn strategies to make these tools work for your financial goals. Don’t miss out – hit play now!
