A Super Simple Question

Written By Guest User

Hi Scott,

I am 42 and a high-income earner ($260,000 a year) and my wife is a stay-at-home mother. I know I am able to make an after-tax contribution to my wife -- but am I able to make a pre-tax contribution to her super account?

James

Hi James,

Yes you can. You split your employer super contributions (including salary sacrifice amounts) up to your limit of $30,000. You get the tax breaks, she gets the extra cash in her super. You’re the man! Happy wife, happy life!
