What is a spouse contribution?
A spouse contribution is an after‑tax contribution you make into your partner’s super account.
- It is treated as your spouse’s non‑concessional (after‑tax) contribution
- You must be married or in a de facto relationship
- Both you and your spouse must be Australian residents
- Your spouse must be eligible to receive super contributions under superannuation law
You may be eligible for a tax offset of up to $540 if your spouse’s income is below the relevant threshold.
For full eligibility rules, including age and contribution limits, refer to the Defence Bank Super Assured Retirement Savings Account Product Disclosure Statement (PDS) and Australian Taxation Office guidance.
