Contribution splitting enables you to split your superannuation contributions with your spouse.
Splitting of superannuation contributions enables couples to take advantage of two low-rate tax thresholds that apply when drawing down superannuation benefits between the ages of 55 and 60. By splitting contributions with an older spouse, you can gain access to your funds earlier than if it had been kept in your account.
AGEST Super offers contribution splitting to its members, but not all funds do. You should you check with your current fund (if you're not using us), if you intend to take advantage of contribution splitting.
