A great way to kick start your super savings - simply transfer a portion of your take home pay to your super account directly via BPAY® or through your employer.
After-tax (non-concessional) contributions are not subject to contributions tax if the total contributed is below the specified limits?
So, if you are under age 64 you can contribute up to $150,000 pa. or $450,000 averaged over three years without incurring contributions tax.
And it gets better! After-tax contributions are considered eligible contributions to receive the Government super co-contribution. If you earn less than $46,920 a year in tax year 2012/2013 then you may want to consider after tax contributions to obtain the super co-contribution.
Most of our members have a defined benefit fund which means that you are restricted in the percentage of your salary that you can contribute to your super. However, you can now top up your super by making additional contributions to an ESSSuper Accumulation Plan account.
You can make extra contributions to an Accumulation Plan account either after-tax or pre-tax (salary sacrifice). You may need to seek professional advice to determine which option is best for you.
Personal contributions can either be made from your after-tax salary, or pre-tax (salary sacrifice). If after-tax isn’t suitable for you, see if salary sacrifice contributions are a better fit.
