Spouse contributions
If you're on a low income, you may not be able to afford to make voluntary contributions yourself.
But if you have a spouse who can afford to make contributions for you, they may be eligible for a tax rebate of up to $540 a year. That way, both of you benefit.
It doesn't matter whether your spouse is working or not, or what age they are. They can still contribute to your Asset Super account.
If your taxable income (including fringe benefits) is less than $10,800 a year, the tax rebate is 18% of contributions up to $3,000 - that equates to a maximum rebate of $540. The rebate reduces if you're earning more, and phases out completely if you're earning more than $13,800 a year.
