Downsizer Contribution

In 2018 the government introduced the ‘Downsizer Contribution’ which enables home owners aged 65 and above to contribute $300,000 to superannuation following the sale of their home. The purpose of this was to increase specific housing supply whilst providing those who meet the eligibility requirements the potential to increase their retirement savings within the superannuation environment.
