For the 2019 financial year, most individuals have a concessional contributions cap to Superannuation of $25,000.

This capped amount includes employer contributions (including contributions made under a salary sacrifice arrangement) and personal contributions.

Your personal contributions can often be claimed as a tax deduction –providing you notify your super fund and get confirmation prior to lodging your Tax Return and you do not exceed the capped amount.

This is a great tax minimisation strategy BUT you need to sort this out NOW.

The last week of June is too late as super funds have their cut off dates.

Claim deductions for everything you are entitled to claim:

But, only claim legitimate items.

• Keep good records: Be organised, keep receipts, and fill in motor vehicle logbook regularly.
• Get advice from a professional Accountant who is a Registered Tax Agent: He/she should find additional expenses, and tax offsets for you.
• Don’t forget the small stuff: Little expenses add up over the tax year.

Use a Registered Tax Agent to lodge your Tax Returns: He/she should be working for YOU, helping to increase your tax refund and avoid trouble with the A.T.O.

Make sure you can substantiate ALL of your tax deduction claims.
