How To Maximise Your Superannuation
Explore the benefits that superannuation can bring to you and why you need to explore the benefits for all things superannuation Adelaide. The government provides generous tax incentives to encourage Australians to invest in super with contributions being taxed at 15% rather than the personal income tax rate of up to 49%, including the Medicare and the temporary Budget Repair levies. You might consider setting up a salary sacrifice arrangement with your employer, allowing you not only to make super contributions from your pre-tax salary but also potentially reducing your income tax bill.
You may be eligible for other benefits, such as the government co-contribution when you make after tax contributions to your own super or a tax rebate when making contributions to your spouse’s super. You may even be able to save tax by paying for your life insurance through your super.
