Its Tax Time

SAVING TAX WITH SUPER
An employer can only claim a deduction for superannuation contributions made for the benefit of an eligible employee to the extent that the contributions have actually been paid into a complying Superannuation Fund by 30 June.

Paying super before 30 June is a great way for a business to reduce their taxable income, and can help save tax of 30% for every dollar contributed before the end of financial year.

Individuals and sole traders are also eligible to claim a deduction for personal super contributions, provided less than 10% of their taxable income and reportable fringe benefits are derived from salary and wages.

There is no limit to the amount of contributions that may be claimed as a tax deduction; however the ATO imposes an annual contributions cap of $25,000, or $50,000 for a person aged over 50.

Any contributions that exceed these cap limits will be taxed at 31.5% in the hands of the individual, in addition to being taxed at 15% within the Super Fund.
