What an introduction.

Thank you for having me, Carrington, and happy financial year, Eve.

What a thrill it is.

Well, now's the time to sort of be getting organised, I think, with all your paperwork.

And we're lucky these days doing your tax return is a lot easier to do yourself online or through an accountant because a lot of our information is pre-filled by the tax office.

And so that's why they're saying don't actually get started on your tax on the 1st of July because

wait until the end of July when they've had time to collect all that information from the banks and from private health insurance and from your workplace, all those areas where they pre-fill your information.

And then you can just concentrate on your work-related deductions and that sort of thing.

I've just been sort of trying to get my paperwork in order, looking through my emails or my bank statements to find if there's any work-related purchases I've made and also making sure I'm topping up my super and doing some concessional contributions to try and top up my super, especially because I've had a couple of periods of mat leave where I wasn't being paid super.

So that's something I like to do as it's coming up to the end of the financial year.

So it's probably a good time to actually be thinking about starting this for the new financial year because you might want to set it up as a salary sacrifice.

And so you'll have to go to your employer and just sort of say, I want to put some of my extra money before tax into my super account.

And that's going to be something called a concessional contribution.

And so the way it works is that we can put up to $30,000 at the moment into our super funds.

Part of that is what our employer does, so that 12% contribution that our employer does.

But if you feel like you're behind with your super or you happen to have some extra cash or you want to take advantage of some of the sort of tax benefits of the super system, you can calculate the difference between what your employer puts in up to that $30,000 cap and

And you can contribute some of your own money and that would be taxed at probably for most people a slightly lower tax rate.

And so you're getting some money into super and then you're getting those tax benefits for the income earned inside super as well.
