Looking for a tax time checklist to ensure you have everything in order by June 30th? We have you covered!
Cut-off date 24th of June.
The cut off date is June 30 for superannuation contributions, but we recommend making your absolute last minute cut-off date the 24th of June to make sure there is time to process your contributions and allow for any slowdowns in the process. Unfortunately, the tax system is not flexible when it comes to cut off dates so please speak to your adviser to ensure any contributions are made on time.
Super Contributions Increases.
Another thing to note, and to keep an eye out for, is that Superannuation contributions made by employers will increase from 10% to 10.5% in the new Financial Year. This will continue to increase 0.5% each year until 1st July 2025 when it hits 12%.
