The end of the financial year is approaching quickly, which means it’s time to get smart with your super. There are a lot of different super strategies, so we’re here to help you find the ones that are appropriate for you – today, and further down the track.
Boost your super while saving on tax
You might be able to claim after-tax super contributions as a tax deduction this financial year. This opportunity to boost your super may be a smart option if:
• Your employer doesn’t offer salary sacrifice, or
• You’re already salary sacrificing and you also want to make concessionally taxed super contributions from your after-tax pay or savings.
Like salary sacrifice and super guarantee contributions, personal deductible super contributions are taxed at 15%, or 30% for higher income earners. This may be considerably lower than the marginal tax rate you pay on your taxable income, which may be as high as 47% (including the Medicare levy).
They also count towards the concessional contribution cap and penalties may apply if you exceed the cap, which is $25,000 in FY2020/21 or may be higher if you contributed less than $25,000 in 2018/19 or 2019/20.
This is just one of your options
