Superannuation Reform: New rules on Concessional Contributions
- Posted by Dejan Pekic BCom DipFP CFP GAICD, Senior Financial Planner
A concessional contribution is made when money is contributed into superannuation and a tax deduction is claimed for that contribution and it can come either from the client and or the employer.
It does attract a 15% contributions tax however it can help with reducing taxable income.
From 1 July 2019 clients can carry forward any unused concessional contributions cap amounts that accrue from 1 July 2018 onwards for up to 5 financial years provided that the clients total superannuation balance is below $500,000 at the previous 30 June.
That means that from Monday next week a client will be able to add the unused concessional contributions cap from the financial year ending 30 June 2019 to the $25,000 concessional contribution cap for financial year ending 30 June 2020 provided that the clients total superannuation balance is below $500,000 as at 30 June 2019.
