I paid into a superannuation fund - can I claim my contributions back?
Even if you're on a working holiday or student visa, if you earn more than AUD$450 per week, your employer is obliged by law to pay 9% on top of your wages into a superannuation fund nominated by you. If you didn't nominate a fund, your employer will pay it into a fund nominated by their company or the tax office.
The good news is that you don't actually have to wait for your retirement to get this money. You can apply for a superannuation tax refund once you've left the country and your visa has expired. We can even cancel your visa for you to speed this process up.
The average Australian superannuation refund we get for our clients is AUD$600. Chat Live with one of our tax experts about applying for yours today or email us on australia@taxback.com |
