If Saving for Your First Home, Listen Up and just that bit beautiful.
Saving for your first home deposit can sometimes
feel overwhelming - but thanks to the introduction
of the ‘First Home Super Saver Scheme’, locals will
be able to save for their deposit faster.
Luke Howarth MP, Federal Member for Petrie said “this is
great news for locals; instead of paying tax, they will be able
to salary sacrifice up to $15,000 per year straight into their
superannuation”.
“For example someone earning $60,000 will be able to salary
sacrifice $15,000, bringing their taxable income to $45,000 per
year – saving them $5,759 in taxes over two years”.
“It’s also like a forced savings plan as individuals cannot withdraw
their money for any other reason than buying their first home or
retiring”.
From 1 July 2018, first home buyers will be able to withdraw
voluntary superannuation contributions they’ve made since 1
July 2017, along with any interest they have earned to help buy
their first home.
“The bottom line is, this is a super saver scheme; rather than
paying tax on your hard earned dollars, it will go towards your
first home deposit” said Mr Howarth.

Saver Scheme contact Luke Howarth’s office on 07 3284 8008 or
