Your client can treat the benefit payments almost as if they were a monthly salary – using it for loan repayments, day-to-day living expenses and any medical expenses.
The option provides flexibility and choice at claim time, to suit their circumstances.
The insured person can increase their monthly benefit in line with the increases to their income every 12 months up to a maximum of 15% each year.
Income Protection can be held outside of superannuation, or within. When held outside superannuation, the policy owners can be the insured person, a trust, or a business entity. When held within superannuation, the policy is owned by the fund’s trustee, and can be through a Retirement Wrap, Platform Super or an SMSF.
Generally, premiums are tax deductible and payments are assessable for tax purposes.
All BT Protection Plans provide the following features, to ensure that your client is receiving the most value out of their policy:
CPI increases
Guaranteed renewable
Guaranteed upgrades
Multi-Policy discount
Wrap and Platform Super discount
Premium Holiday
Cover continuation
Worldwide cover – 24 hours a day.
