ATO Key Rates and Thresholds for 2016-17
The ATO has released their key rates and thresholds for 2016-17, including the maximum superannuation contribution base, superannuation contribution caps and genuine redundancy and early retirement scheme payment limits.
What does this mean?
Maximum Superannuation Contribution Base is used to determine the maximum limit which an employer must pay Superannuation (at 9.50%) on any individual employee’s earnings base for each quarter of any financial year. Your employer does not have an obligation to make additional superannuation contributions for earnings above this limit.
| Income year | Per quarter |
|---|---|
| 2016-17 | $51,620.00 |
| 2015-16 | $50,810.00 |
| 2014–15 | $49,430.00 |
Superannuation Contribution Caps are broken down into concessional and non-concessional contributions. Whilst they are unchanged for the 2016/17FY, CXC Financial Partners have provided some detail around the current figures for your future reference:
Concessional contributions include:
- employer contributions (including contributions made under a salary sacrifice arrangement)
- personal contributions claimed as a tax deduction by a self-employed person
- if you have more than one fund, all concessional contributions made to all of your funds are added together and counted towards the concessional contributions cap.
Non-Concessional contributions are made up of personal contributions from post-tax monies (i.e. a contribution where no tax deduction is being claimed, and money is contributed from personal savings).
| Income year | Age and applicable Cap amount | Treatment of excess contributions | |
| 2016-17 | <49: $30,000 | 49+: $35,000 | Included as taxable income, taxed at marginal tax rate plus an excess concessional contributions charge |
| 2016-17 | <65: $180,000 p.a. <65: $540,000* |
65+: $180,000 if gainfully employed during the FY* | If a member’s non-concessional contributions exceed the cap, from 1 July 2014 a tax of 47% is levied on the excess contributions. Individual members are personally liable for this tax and must have their super fund release an amount of money equal to the tax. |
Genuine redundancy and early retirement scheme payment limits.*if you wish to contribute under these circumstances, we suggest that you seek personal advice from a qualified professional. CXC Financial Partners are happy to assist you with any superannuation queries.
Genuine redundancy and early retirement scheme payments you receive are tax free up to a limit based on your years of service with your employer. The tax-free limit is determined by:
- Base amount + (service amount x years of service)
These amounts are indexed each year, with the 2016/17 limits outlined below:
| Genuine redundancy and early retirement scheme payment limits | ||
| Income year | Base limit | For each complete year of service |
| 2016-17 | $9,936.00 | $4,969.00 |
| 2015-16 | $9,780.00 | $4,891.00 |
| 2014–15 | $9,514.00 | $4,758.00 |
If you’d like any further information please don’t hesitate to contact CXC Financial Partners on 1300 925 081 and they will be happy to help you.

A New Approach to Climbing the Corporate Ladder
Think back 5 years ago. What was your idea of climbing the corporate ladder? I highly doubt the notion of contracting your way to the top, was the first to enter your mind. Yet today, in 2016, contracting offers go-getting individuals an opportunity to path their own career in the direction they want…to the top!
Freelancing is no longer simply a means to earn a pay cheque whilst in between jobs. It’s now a chosen way to make a career. According to a study conducted by independent research firm Edelman Berland, 57% of the 1,000 Australian freelancers they surveyed, choose to get into freelancing over permanent employment. This choice was primarily driven by the freedom and flexibility contracting offers.

Segmentation of the On-Demand Workforce
A report published early this year by Intuit Inc, found that on-demand workers can be segmented into five groups based on their drivers for entering the on-demand workforce and levels of satisfaction.
The report surveyed 4,622 workers in the US, working for 11 different on-demand economy and online talent marketplace companies.
Here’s a break-down of why different workers are attracted to on-demand work and how they can be pigeonholed into groups based on their motivations and level of fulfillment.
Do you fit any of these groups?

The Promise of Diversity
“A key challenge for all nations as they strive for increased productivity and a higher standard of living is to harness the full potential of their entire citizenry. In this context, one of the most recognised and acknowledged gaps is in relation to gender. Essentially, we need to encourage greater participation by females in our workforce.”
A long standing partner of ours, the Australian Computer Society, is committed to establishing a more gender equal ICT workforce and has released ‘The Promise of Diversity’ report providing an overview of the common challenges we face in gender diversity in the tech sector.
