My question is: I have been paying into a super fund since I came to Australia including beginning first on a WHM visa then moving over to a more permanement 482 visa (temporary skills shortage), If i decide to leave Australia in the future and apply for the DASP will my WHM visa contributions be taxed at 65% and my contributions on my 482 be taxed at 35% separately? Or will the entire fund be taxed at 65% as part of my contributions are related to WHM?


Is there an option to have the DASP payed in 2 payments to avoid the entirety of my fund being taxed at the higher rate?



If this is the case of incurring the 65% tax on everything, do I have to go as far as beginning a new super fund with a new provider to avoid this risk?

Hi @jessicamcgill,


Your entire fund will be taxed at 65% if any of its contributions are from when you were on a WHM visa.


You can open a second super fund while on your 482 visa and the amounts from that fund would be taxed at 35%.
