By simply paying money into your super you could receive a reward of $1.50 for every $1 you pay in - up to a maximum of $1,500 (depending on your total income). To get your reward for this financial year, you need to pay your money into super before the end of the tax year (and meet the eligibility rules). Read more
My employer isn't making contributions. What should I do?
Under current legislation, your employer is required to pay an amount equal to 9% of your ordinary times earnings into your super account until age 70. This requirement is known as the Superannuation Guarantee (SG). Employers who do not make these payments have to pay a fine known as the Superannuation Guarantee Charge (SGC) to the Australian Taxation Office, as well as pay you what is owed. If you're employer refuses to pay super into your account, contact the Australian Taxation Office Superannuation hotline on 13 10 20 for assistance.
