Act now before the end of financial year.
Whatever stage you are at in life, the end of the financial year is the perfect time to
evaluate your situation and make the most of the tax advantages available to you.
If you are an ESSSuper member, you have the opportunity to contribute extra 1 .
And if you contribute before June 30, you may be eligible for rebates and deductions
in your upcoming tax return.
Three ways to top up your super before tax time:
Put aside more from your pay packet – contribute to super by salary sacrifice and
you may only have to pay 15% tax on those contributions.
Make a spouse contribution – contribute up to $3,000 on behalf of your low-income
or non-working spouse and you may be eligible for a tax rebate of up to $540 2 .
Capitalise on co-contributions – make an after-tax super contribution and the
Government may match what you put away by up to $1,000 3 .
