QIEC Super accepts Salary Sacrifice contributions - An arrangement between an employee and employer where a certain amount of the employee's gross salary is paid direct into the employee's superannuation account. This reduces the employee's gross taxable income (therefore reducing the employee's personal income tax payable) as well as enhancing retirement savings. Salary Sacrifice arrangements are recognised by the Taxation Office as employer contributions and therefore taxed at 15% when received by QIEC Super. We recommend that you consult an independent Financial Planner to determine if Salary Sacrifice is a viable option for you.

 

QIEC Super provides competitive insurance benefits.
