6. Can I claim for superannuation payments that I have made myself?
If your employer is making superannuation guarantee contributions on
your
behalf you
cannot claim superannuation payments, However, subject to
assessable income levels
and age, payments you make directly to a
superannuation fund are matched by the
government up to a maximum of
$1,500. The government contributes 150% up to the
maximum of $1,500.
Self-employed persons having private superannuation and not being part
of an
employer/award productivity superannuation scheme can claim a
deduction. There
are limits to the amount that can be claimed.
