From 1 July 2021, there are changes to contribution caps. That is, the maximum amounts you can contribute to your super without paying additional tax are changing:
Concessional contributions
The new concessional contribution cap will be changing from $25,000 to $27,500. (Concessional contributions are contributions which are taxed at a concessional (or lower) tax rate. These would usually include your employer contributions and any salary sacrifice contributions you make) |
Non-concessional contributions
The new non-concessional contribution cap will be changing from $100,000 to $110,000. (Non-concessional contributions are contributions that don’t receive concessional (or lower) tax treatment. They are usually contributions that are made with post-tax money) The maximum ‘bring forward’ amount also increases from $300,000 to $330,000. You can find out more about the bring forward rule in the ‘post-tax’ contribution section of our website. |
