Contribution Caps Changes 2017 & 2018

Cap

If you are aged 65 or over you must satisfy a work test to make acceptable contributions.

  • Concessional contributions are employer contributions, salary sacrifice and personal contributions claimed as a tax deduction by a self-employed person or an investor.
    •  From 1 July 2017, you can claim a tax deduction for eligible personal contributions up to the concessional contribution cap, regardless of your employment situation.
  • Non-concessional contributions are after-tax contributions including spouse contributions and contributions made under the Co-contribution Scheme.
