Government Co-Contributions

If you'd like a house (metaphorically) made of bricks when you retire - as opposed to one made from sticks or straw - the time to act is now. And we mean right now, while the Federal Government is giving you money…without any huffing and puffing.

Thanks to the ongoing Co-contribution Scheme, they're paying you up to $1.00 for every $1.00 you pay into your Intrust Super account.

$1.00 for every dollar?!! You could break the bank!

Naturally there are conditions. For example, you have to earn less than $61,920 p.a. to be eligible, plus your contribution has to be after tax and there is a $1,000 ceiling on their generosity.

The important thing to remember is, that when the end of financial year comes around, if you have any spare $$$ lying around, it may be in your best interest to put it into your super. After all, who else is going to pay you up to 100% return on your contribution?!!

To be eligible for this financial year, we must receive your voluntary contribution before the end of June, so complete one of our forms now…not once upon a time, but right now.

Also if you like the thought of getting money from the Government regularly, you should give some serious thought to making regular contributions. If so, complete a "regular contributions" application form. That's all. After you've lodged your tax return, the Government will pay their share (refer Co-contributions Chart) straight into your super.
