Super contributions to spouse

Spouse contributions are a great way to grow your partner’s super so you can both enjoy a better lifestyle in retirement. You could also enjoy tax benefits.

What are spouse contributions?

Spouse contributions are amounts paid into your account by your spouse, or money you pay into your spouse’s account on their behalf.

What are the benefits?

Making a spouse contribution can boost your partner’s retirement savings. This is particularly helpful if your spouse has had time out of the workforce as they may have had long periods of time without any super contributions.

You could also receive a tax offset of up to $540 if your spouse earns less than $37,000 each year.
