End of Financial Year FAQs.
Hostplus has put together a set of FAQs to help you get the most from your super this end of financial year.
Generally, your employer has to pay an extra 9.5% on top of your salary into your super fund. But did you know that by making extra contributions yourself, you can boost your super growth and you may be able to save money by lowering your taxable income?
