EXAMPLE:
In the year 2012-13, Stephen has an adjusted taxable income (ATI) of $33,000. His employer has made $2,970 of Superannuation Guarantee contribution for him.
With an ATI of less than $37,000, Stephen will receive a government contribution equivalent to 15% tax of his total concessional contributions made during the year. Therefore, he will receive (15% x $2,970) $445.50 in government contribution.
This government contribution is capped at $500.
EXAMPLE:
In the year 2012-13, Jan has income of $295,000. During the year, his employer has made $23,000 of SG contributions into his super fund.
The tax rate on concessional contributions has increased from 15% to 30% for earners with income greater than $300,000. Jan’s total income for the year is $318,000 ($295,000 + $23,000).
The 30% tax will be applied against the $18,000 of his concessional contributions. As a result of this increased tax, Jan will pay additional contribution tax of $2,700 ($18,000 x (30%-15%)) in comparative to the previous financial year where the tax is at 15%.
