Tax deductions for self-employed people
If you’re under 75, you may be able to claim a full tax deduction for contributions you make into your account. To be eligible you must earn less than 10% of your total income (including reportable fringe benefits and reportable employer superannuation contributions) from employment as an employee.
If you earn less than 10% of your total income from employment as an employee, you may be able to claim a tax deduction. Under tax legislation, to obtain a tax deduction you must let us know that you intend to claim a deduction and the amount you intend to claim.
For further information including full eligibility criteria, please refer to the ATO website or call 13 10 20.
