Unlike the other ancillary contributions, co-contributions are not a product provided by MilitarySuper. Co-contributions are an additional contributions from the Australian Government for eligible individuals.
If your assessable income and fringe benefits are less than the limit imposed by the Government you are entitled to receive a co-contribution using information from DFRDB and your tax return.
If you are an eligible recipient of a co-contribution and you are in the DFRDB, the co-contribution will be paid into MilitarySuper.
Government co-contributions will not be included in the contribution caps and will be tax free when you withdraw your benefit.
No tax is payable on these contributions on entry to the Fund.
