Personal contributions

Making after-tax contributions to your super.

Have some spare cash to put into super? It’s quick and easy to make a contribution from your after-tax pay to your Tasplan account – here’s how.

How to make a contribution

Every little bit helps

A great way to add to your super is to make your own regular contributions, above what your employer already pays. You can also do a one-off payment, small or large (up to certain limits) – the choice is yours.

Even throwing in a spare $50 each month could turn into thousands when it comes to retirement.

Claiming tax deductions for personal contributions

You may be able to claim a tax deduction for personal contributions you make to Tasplan if, during the financial year:

• you’ve made personal contributions to your super
• you’ve met the age restrictions
• you've completed your Claim tax deductions in Tasplan Online or you’ve completed the ATO's Notice of intent to claim or vary a deduction for personal super contributions form, and told us how much you plan to claim as a deduction
• we’ve acknowledged your notice of intent to claim a deduction.

Refer to the Claiming tax deductions for contributions fact sheet for more information. You should seek professional advice before claiming a tax deduction to work out if its good idea for you.

• Watch out for the caps

  There are limits on how much you can put into super each year without tax penalties.
  These are called ‘contribution caps’. If you go over these caps, you’ll pay extra tax.
