What is a taxed fund?
A taxed fund, such as GESB Super, is one where a 15% contributions tax applies on taxable contributions (such as employer or salary sacrifice contributions) when they are received by the fund. Investment earnings in a taxed fund are taxed at a maximum rate of 15% in the year that they are earned.
If you have a taxed fund, you may also need to pay tax when you are able to access your super benefit. This depends on your individual circumstances.
