Author: mazdav(Newbie)Newbie 9 Oct 2021Hello, I retired from nursing in Jan 2021, just before I turned 66y in Feb'21. In Sept'21 I sold a small property and have made a capital gain of $60,000 - this will be my only income for this current FY, apart from my modest retirement income stream. I'd like to use some of the property sale money to boost my super a bit - but I also want to minimise my CGT liability due next July, which i've been told will be about $10,000. To achieve these two aims I'm thinking of making a voluntary tax deductible contribution to my super of $27,500 just before, or just after, I turn 67 in Feb'22. My question: if I do this, will my super company require proof that I have passed the work test? I don't really want to have to return to work. Someone told me that I wouldn't have to pass a work test as long as I make the voluntary contribution before 30 June 2022 - but I haven't been able to find any confirmation of that on the ATO website. Thanks for any advice on this question that members might be able to provide.
