Making extra contributions

 
How can I increase my super?
There are several popular methods to make extra contributions into your super:
 
  • Salary Sacrifice - an agreement between you and your employer to make contributions from before tax salary. 
  • After-tax contributions - after tax contributions may make you eligible for co-contributions, designed to boost the super of low-income earners.
  • Spouse contributions - spouse contributions may entitle you to a tax rebate of up to $540.
 
What is Salary Sacrifice?
Salary Sacrifice is an arrangement between you and your employer. You transfer part of your BEFORE tax salary into super to gain tax benefits.
 
 
What are Co-contributions?
Co-contributions are special payments made by the government to super accounts of members whose assessable income is less than $58,000 and who make personal contributions from their after tax salary.
 
 
What are Spouse contributions?
If you are employed and your eligible spouse is either not working or earning less than $13,800 per year, you can contribute to their super and get up to $540 tax rebate a year.
