Am I eligible for a super co contribution
FAQ - About Superannuation
From 1 July 2007, both employees and self-employed people may be eligible for a super co-contribution. If you can answer YES to all of these questions, in relation to a financial year, then you will be entitled to a super co-contribution from the Government.

• Have you made, or are you prepared to make, personal (after tax) contributions to your super for which you will not claim a tax deduction?1

• Do you earn2 less than $58,980 a year before tax (individual income, not household)?

• Do you earn more than 10% of your total income as an employee3 or from carrying on a business?

• Are you under 71 years of age?

• Have you or will you lodge an income tax return?

• Are you a permanent resident, or citizen of Australia?4

NOTES

1 Contributions made by your spouse and employer do not count.
2 Assessable income and reportable fringe benefits less business deductions (except for super contributions or work-related expenses)
3 Eligible employment includes any arrangement where an employer is required to treat you as an employee for the superannuation guarantee rules (which entitles you to 9% super contributions). Excludes fully retired people.
4 You cannot hold an eligible temporary resident visa.
