Generally, the Superannuation Guarantee payments of 10.50% is helping working Australians to build their financial future. There are also other ways you could get more out of super, such as by taking advantage of super limits to make additional contributions:
- Before tax – You can contribute up to $27,500 (including any Superannuation Guarantee) from your before tax salary this financial year. These contributions are taxed at 15%, which may be lower than your marginal tax rate. There are recent legislative changes that allow the use of catch-up concessional contributions if you have not reached previous years limits – please seek advice if you would like further information.
- After tax – You can contribute up to $110,000 this financial year. You may also be able to bring forward future after tax contributions, rolling up to three years’ contributions into one contribution of up to $330,000. Earnings on your super are taxed at 15%, which may be lower than your marginal tax rate which applies to investment earnings outside super.
