i just got stung for Div 293 tax. and then reading about it i saw this little gem:
Exemption for Higher levels of office Division 293 for higher level office holdersState higher level office holdersIf you're classified as a state higher level office holder who makes certain super contributions to a constitutionally protected fund (CPF), you're exempt from having Division 293 tax applied to those super contributions. You're a state higher level officer holder if you are: a minister of the government of a state a member of the staff of a minister of the government of a state the governor of a statea member of staff of the governor of a state a member of the parliament of a state the clerk of a house of the parliament of a state the head of a department of the public service of a state or a statutory office holder of equivalent seniority, including a statutory office holder who is the head of an instrumentality or agency of a state a judge, justice or magistrate of the court of a state. If at any time in the income year, you fall within the category of a state higher level office holder you will be treated as being a state higher level office holder for the entire income year.
