Eligibility age for downsizer contributions drops to age 60 from 65, from 1st July 2022
Downsizer contributions allow eligible individuals to make a contribution into their superannuation of up to $300,000 per person ($600,000 per couple) from the proceeds received from selling their home. In order for a fund member to make these contributions, they must meet the eligibility criteria, which includes the proceeds from the home being either exempt or partially exempt from Capital Gains Tax (CGT) under the main residence exemption. Click here to learn more about the ATO's guidelines on Downsizing contributions into superannuation. We have put down few most common queries related to Downsizer Contribution for your ready reference as follows: How can I benefit from a downsizer contribution to super? Downsizer contribution to your super is beneficial as you recieve tax benefits on that amount.
How much can I contribute? You can contribute a maximum amount of $300,000 or lesser if the sale price of your home is below $300,000. You may make more than one contribution, but the total must not exceed the maximum specified limit.
Can my spouse contribute? Yes, you may each make a downsizer contribution, even if your spouse was not on the title of your home. But the combined value of your spouse’s contribution and your own cannot exceed your home’s sale price.
Does this affect my Transfer Balance Cap? Downsizer contributions are exempt from contribution rules but they still count toward the $1.7 million transfer balance cap.
Ensure that your SMSF strategies are backed up by a robust trustdeed...

Trustees may accept downsizer contributions from members who are over 60 years old (from 1st July 2022) ignoring any work test requirement or total superannuation balance, provided the contribution is from sale proceeds of members' dwelling in Australia, which is their main residence.
