Q: Can you please provide some information on how I can salary sacrifice if I am self employed?
A: If you are operating a company that employs you, the company is obliged to make employer superannuation guarantee payments for you, and you can have the company contribute more than the minimum (11% of salary) employer contribution if you would like to salary sacrifice.
If you are self employed without a company structure, then there is no way to salary sacrifice, but you can instead make personal tax-deductible contributions to super which has exactly the same tax outcome.

If you’re running a business, it is critical to be on top of your super requirements for staff. Even if an employee has quoted an ABN, you may need to make compulsory super contributions for them. With the contribution rate rising to 11.5% from July, now is a good time to review your obligations.
