Claiming Your Super When You Leave Australia: The 35% and 65% DASP Tax Rates, and the Six-Month Deadline

If you worked in Australia on a temporary visa, there is super sitting in a fund with your name on it. You can claim it after you leave, but the ATO withholds 35% or 65% of the taxable component, and which rate applies depends on whether you ever held a working holiday maker visa. This guide covers the eligibility conditions, the DASP tax rate table, the six-month rule that moves your money to the ATO, and what to do before you fly.

自管养老金的钱什么时候能拿出来:年龄到了只是一半,另一半 ATO 叫「释放条件」

Payday Super Is Live: The July 2026 Trap for Melbourne and Brisbane Employers

Here is what changed, the ordering rule that catches employers out, how the new super guarantee charge works, and what to check in your payroll this week. By Lily Zhang, CPA.
