Salary sacrifice

Salary sacrifice can be a brilliant move

Pay less tax and help boost your super

You can pay your own before-tax contributions into Sunsuper by salary sacrificing. Salary sacrifice means you sacrifice, or re-direct part of your before-tax (gross) salary as a super contribution.

Employers and the self-employed can claim a full deduction for all super contributions (including salary sacrifice) provided the employee is under 75.

Contribution caps apply to contributions made to your super account and any super contributed over the cap is subject to extra tax. You should take this into account when deciding how much of your pay to salary sacrifice into super.
