Frequently asked questions
What income is used for Division 293?
It uses a specific 'Division 293 income' definition that adds back certain items to taxable income, plus your low-tax concessional contributions.
What rate applies?
An additional 15% tax generally applies to the lesser of your concessional contributions or the amount by which your income exceeds the threshold.
Who pays the tax?
The ATO issues a Division 293 assessment directly to you, and you can choose to pay it from super or personally.
