The topic this week is how to salary sacrifice into super and make personal deductible contributions at the same time to lower your personal income tax. Australian’s love a tax deduction, but many people don’t understand the different ways to do it. This episode aims to provide some general financial information about how to contribute to your super for your retirement.
