By putting a little extra money into super before 30 June 2011 your employees could get a bonus top-up from the Government and make a big difference to their super when they retire.

What is the Government co-contribution bonus?
The Government’s co-contribution scheme helps ordinary Australians save more for retirement. When your employees contribute, the Government will contribute too – tax free.

How does the bonus work?
If your employees earn* less than $31,920 pa and top up their super from after-tax pay, they could be eligible for a super bonus where the Government matches $1 for $1 after-tax super contributions up to a maximum of $1,000. The bonus reduces for every dollar earned over $31,920, before phasing out completely at $61,920 pa.

* Total income includes salary, fringe benefits and reportable employer contributions
