Urgent - Claiming Deductions for Concessional Contributions

Hello all, need urgent help.

I put in my tax return 2 weeks ago however found that I may have left out something.

I've read a book (Paul Clithiroe) which says that all concessional contributions are deductible. Though i'm not sure if i'm understanding it properly. Does this mean that I can claim as a deduction all the compulsory (9%) which were made by my employee (in this case an agency) in my tax return and also any salary sacrifice super?

If this is possible, whereabouts would I make it within my tax return. I know there's a section on superannuation and annuities but this is quite confusing and when I did my tax return I didn't think that this would apply (said something about being self-employed).

Please help

 

As an employee, you don't claim SGC as a tax deduction, your employer does.

Ok, how about ur own salary sacrifice ontop of the SGC?

Read somewhere that u need to be either self employed or have an assesable income that is 10% of something?

 

Salary sacrafice is paid by your employer out of pre-tax dollars, so you dont get any deduction just a reduced taxable income.
As far as I am aware you only need to include super contributions in your tax return if you are self employed. Any contributions made by you from after tax dollars are undeducted contributions so not taxable on the way into your super fund.

 

Or also if your EMPLOYERs pay to you is less than 10% of your TOTAL income.

Eg, if your employer paid you $10,000 you could make a concessional contribution and claim a tax deduction if your TOTAL income was $100,000 or more, eg, income from investments (income or CG) is the other 90%.
