“So, we’re not going to go from $27,000 up to $30,000. The numbers just aren’t there to support that from an average weekly ordinary time earnings (AWOTE) perspective,” he stated. So we’ll also be still maintaining $110,000, $220,000 and $330,000 as our non-concessional limits at least for another year.”

The contribution caps are indexed in line with the AWOTE figure, which will be released 23 February 2023.

While the contribution caps will very likely remain the same, Mr Miller said that given that the total superannuation balance is linked to the general transfer balance cap, this may open up opportunities for clients that were previously unable to make non-concessional contributions.

He noted that clients with a total super balance of $1.59 million or more are currently restricted from using the bring forward rules. Members will a balance of $1.7 million or more cannot make any non-concessional contributions.

“However, if we get indexation to $1.9 million, then will be able to start talking to clients with less than $1.7 million or $1.68 million about using the entirety of their bring forward amount.”
