From the 1 July the following changes have been made to the Concessional (tax deductible) and Non – Concessional (non tax deductible) Superannuation Contribution Caps …….

 Concessional Contribution rates for the year ended 30 June 2015

Under 50	$30,000
Aged 49 or over on June 2014	$35,000

 Non-Concessional Contributions Cap rates for the year ended 30 June 2015

• $180,000 per person per annum
• If you are aged under 65 you may be able to make a non-concessional contribution of up to three times the non-concessional contributions cap (i.e.$540,000) for the year. By doing this you activate the bring forward provisions and you will not be able to make another non-concessional contribution for 3 years.

Please note

• If your employer pays life insurance premiums as part of your contribution to super, the payments could be included as part of the contributions caps.
• The above caps are per person, per annum.  If you have more than one employer you need to ensure that the contributions caps are not going to be exceeded.
