    Hi all, wondering if someone could answer this for me.

    Lets say I have income as a PAYE of $60,000 and interest on my margin loan for the year was $10,000.

    I know my taxable income will be $50,000 but what about my assessable income?

    I ask this because the super co-contribution is based on your assessable income and the lower your assessable income the more co-contribution you can get.

    Thanks in advance. :D

    Hi Kipps,

    You might want to check with an accountant.
    Your assessable income is different to your taxable income.

    My Tax Zone: What is Assessable Income?

    The ATO has already thought of it ;)

    Cheers,

    Dan
