There are a few ways you can make extra super contributions.
After-tax (non-concessional) contributions
Government co-contributionIf you'll earn less than $54,837 this financial year and can invest some extra in your super before 30 June, you could be eligible for a co-contribution by the Government of up to $500.
Find out further information in our fact sheet Let the government top up your super or use our co-contribution calculator to see if you’re eligible and how much you may receive.
Before-tax (concessional) contributions
If you are hoping to take advantage of making contributions with pre-tax money, you can:
- speak with your employer about setting up regular salary sacrifice contributions, or
- make an after-tax contribution and claim a tax deduction for that amount. You can do this by completing a Notice of intent to claim or vary a deduction for personal super contributions form and mailing it to the address shown above.
Further information and eligibility can be found in our Salary sacrifice and save fact sheet.
Understanding your contribution options and limits will help you make informed decisions about the best way for you to grow your super. Find out more here.
