Claim Australian superannuation
Superannuation funds, sometimes referred to as ‘super funds’, are a type of long-term savings plan designed to help Australian people in retirement. It’s a legal obligation for the employer to pay the equivalent of 11% of their salary into a super fund every month. This does not come out of your wages but is an additional cost paid by your employer. The good news is that once you leave Australia, you’re entitled to claim this money back.
So how do you claim your superannuation fund when you leave Australia? It’s simple! Register with Taxback and answer a few questions about your time in Australia and we’ll do the rest. The average superannuation refund is AU$1,908 so what are you waiting for?
