Why make a spouse contribution?

There are a number of potential tax benefits in making spouse contributions, such as:

  • You could receive a tax offset of up to $540 per financial year, if you meet certain criteria
  • Your spouse contributions are tax-free upon withdrawal
  • Your spouse or partner could pay a lower rate of tax than you, when they withdraw their final super benefit

Your spouse will also be able to access our member benefits if they don’t already have a GESB account.
