Hi,


Hoping somebody can help answer the below query around the % of tax I will pay on my Super when leaving Australia.


I arrived in Aus in 2017 as a WHM and had super contributions put into an MLC Super fund I set up. I then moved onto a TSS 482 Visa for 4 years and my new employer continued to contribute to the same Super Fund.


I understand my WHM earnings will be taxed at 65% before I get the remaining super back on Leaving Australia, but what will the super whilst on my 482 Visa be taxed at.


If this is also taxed at 65%, is there any way of distinguishing between the two visa, so as not to pay a the WHM tax rate when clearly not on that visa.


Thanks,

Ollie

Hi @BoyOliver,


If you're applying to withdraw your super under DASP your fund will determine which tax rate applies. They should be able to work out which contributions were made for each visa type you had. However, if all your Super is with the same fund, then they will apply the WHM rate to the entire DASP if any of the contributions were made when you held a WHM visa. You can read more about DASP tax for WHM's on our website.
