If you’re in a relationship, getting your spouse to contribute offers you and your spouse super tax benefits. If you are employed and your "eligible spouse" is either not working or earning less than $13,800 per annum, you can contribute to their super and receive extra tax benefits.
There is no limit to the amount you can contribute on behalf of your spouse. However, you can only claim a rebate of 18% on contributions of up to $3,000 made to a complying super fund for the benefit of your spouse. This tax benefit reduces when your spouse earns more than $10,800, including reportable fringe benefits, and is zero when your spouse's assessable income reaches $13,800.
If you want to make a contribution on behalf of your spouse, download a Spouse Contribution form and send it to us. The earlier you start, the more you can save.
