Solution

Only statement 1 is true.

The first statement is correct. Salary sacrifice contributions are when you ask your employer to pay part of your salary or wage into your superannuation instead of paying it to you directly. They are generally subject to a 15% contributions tax and are eligible for the government co-contribution.

The second statement is incorrect. For the 2021-2022 financial year, the non-concessional contributions cap is 110,000peryear.However,ifanindividualstotalsuperbalanceis110,000 per year. However, if an individual's total super balance is 1.7 million or more on 30 June of the previous financial year, their non-concessional contributions cap is zero. Therefore, if the individual's super account balance is currently 1million,theywouldnotbeabletomakeanonconcessionalcontributionof1 million, they would not be able to make a non-concessional contribution of 110,000 this year.
