With salary packaging, you can use funds from your pre-tax salary to make additional contributions to your superannuation. This not only reduces your taxable income, meaning you could save on tax, but could also boost your retirement nest egg.
Your employer already makes regular superannuation contributions on your behalf as part of your standard salary, but making additional superannuation contributions can go a long way.
What exactly can I package?
Most people can package up to $27,500 a year (including your employer's 10.5% contribution) without incurring any tax penalties.
As of 1 July 2021, the annual cap for concessional contributions cap was reduced to $27,500 per annum for all individuals, regardless of age.
Please refer to www.ato.gov.au for up to date information.
