First home buyers have a tax-advantaged savings option many overlook.

First home buyers have a tax-advantaged savings option many overlook. The First Home Super Saver scheme lets eligible Australians make voluntary super contributions and withdraw them tax-efficiently to purchase their first home. With contribution limits of fifteen thousand dollars annually up to fifty thousand total, the tax benefits are substantial. A worker earning thirty-two percent marginal tax rate who salary sacrifices ten thousand dollars into super pays only fifteen percent tax on contributions. Upon withdrawal under the scheme, they face approximately two percent tax, leaving significantly more for their deposit compared to saving outside super. This strategy can deliver thousands in additional savings while navigating recent capital gains tax changes affecting share-based saving strategies for younger Australians.
