Feature Article | Splitting is still significant
The strategy of splitting superannuation contributions to your spouse still provides an opportunity for couples to maximise their retirement savings, particularly with the introduction of total super balance and transfer balance cap rules.
Overview of Contribution Splitting
The superannuation contribution splitting rules allows a person to split up to 85% of concessional contributions with their spouse. This includes carry forward concessional contributions. Non-concessional contributions cannot be split. Superannuation contribution splitting allows a couple to build two separate superannuation accounts even if one spouse is on a low income or not working.
The splitting operates under an “annual split” model: that is at the end of the financial year a super fund member will be able to nominate a percentage of concessional contributions made in that financial year to be split with their spouse. The amount to be split will be treated as a “rollover” to the receiving spouse; hence funds will not be counted against any contribution caps for that spouse. The concessional contributions that can be split can also include unused carry forward contributions, where applicable.
