Super is one of the most tax-effective ways to build your retirement savings β€” but most people never look past what their employer puts in. Our free Smart Super Strategies Guide breaks down the practical moves worth considering, whatever stage you're at.

βœ… Track down and consolidate old or lost super accounts
βœ… Use salary sacrifice to top up your super tax-effectively
βœ… Check if you qualify for the Government's co-contribution (up to $500, just for topping up your own)
βœ… Look into splitting contributions with your spouse

A $3 million super tax is coming. But for SMSF trustees, there's a bigger deadline first.

Division 296 starts 1 July 2026, adding extra tax on super balances over $3 million β€” up to an effective 30% between $3M–$10M, and up to 40% above $10M.

Before then, eligible SMSFs get a one-off election to reset the cost base of their assets to market value as at 30 June 2026 β€” quarantining historical capital growth from the new tax. It's not automatic, it applies fund-wide, and once made it's generally irreversible. Even funds sitting under $3 million today should weigh it up, because the window won't come around again.

Greg Thornton, Certified Financial Planner and SMSF Specialist Adviser, breaks down what to check before you elect, the traps that catch trustees out, and the steps to take before 30 June 2026.
