The Recontribution strategy: Opportunities and strategies to get the best outcomes

Thursday 24 July 2025 at 4:00 pm AEST

This webinar will show you how the Recontribution strategy works and the process required to maximise the tax effectiveness of your retirement savings.

Q: Does a spouse super contribution count towards my personal concessional contributions cap?

A: A spouse super contribution is a non-concessional contribution. It is counted towards the non-concessional cap of the person who owns the account it was deposited into.

It is not counted towards the cap of the spouse that made the contribution, since it was not added to their account.

In contrast, super contributions you first make to your account and then split/transfer to your spouse’s account are concessional contributions. They count towards the concessional cap of the individual that originally made the contributions to their account. Splitting/transferring the contributions to your spouse does not reduce the amount counted towards your concessional cap.

If you’re planning to get on the property ladder by saving a deposit for your first home, be sure to check how the First Home Super Saver scheme can help.
