What is the equivalent of a Roth IRA in Australia?

November 12th, 2012 Leave a comment Go to comments

I’m reading the personal finance book "I Will Teach You To Be Rich" and the author talks about Roth IRA’s. Now, I Googled for these in Australia but return no results.

What is the Australian equivalent?

well I’m not Australian or an expert on Australian tax law but a Roth IRA is just a retirement trust, that doesn’t tax your Capital Gain until you make a withdraw so my first through would be a Family Trust a.k.a. discretionary trust.

or if mutual funds are your thing a mutual fund with a dividend reinvestment plan would have the same affect
hope take helps 🙂
