Super Thresholds for 2013/14

Super Thresholds for 2013/14
 

Summary of changes

The ATO has just released the Super Thresholds for 2013/14.  The concessional and non-concessional contribution caps are unchanged due to the pause in indexation which applies for 2013/14.  

The CGT contribution cap has been indexed.  However, the retirement contribution sub-cap is not indexed.

The low rate cap amount applying to superannuation lump sums has been increased.

The discount to the account-based pension rates will cease 30 June 2013 and so the normal rates will apply to 2013/14.

The SGC rate will increase.
