Financial Planner Luke Smith joined 2CC Talking Canberra 1206AM in Money Matters, which aired live on Friday 10 May 2024. This show encourages listeners to consider if they should make a contribution to their superannuation fund before 30 June 2024. The end of financial year is just around the corner and many people are thinking about their tax planning. A superannuation contribution may provide you with a tax deduction if you’re looking for one, as well as help boost your super savings for your retirement. Thank you for joining us live on 2CC or your favourite podcast streaming service.

Key topics covered include:

• Making a super contribution shouldn’t be last minute, if you miss the deadline, it won’t apply this financial year.
• What are 3 strategic reasons you might want to make a contribution to super before 30 June?
• How much can you contribute to super, what’s the limit?
• How do you make a contribution to super and claim a tax deduction?
• Don’t forget your ‘Notice of intent to claim a tax deduction’ and give it to your super fund. Without it, your super fund won’t know you want to claim a tax deduction for it when it comes time to doing your tax return.
• What are the concessional catch-up rules?
• Can you put money into super and not claim a tax deduction? Why might you do that?
• Are there any cons to making a contribution to your super before 30 June?
• Luke shares his top tips about making a contribution to super before the end of the financial year.
