Tax on investment earnings

Your Media Super account is a tax-effective means of building your personal wealth.

Investment earnings (returns) on your super are taxed at 15%, less any available tax credits. Tax on earnings from non-super investments attract a higher tax for most people, up to 46.5%

Tax on investment earnings are deducted from Media Super’s earnings and remitted to the Australian Taxation Office before unit prices are declared. Net earnings are then allocated to your Media Super account.

What if I started a Pension?

Investment earnings on superannuation money invested in a pension account attract no tax.
