5 Some super contributions, including employer and salary sacrificed contributions, are taxed at 15% at the time they are paid into a taxed super fund. However some government schemes, such as Triple S, Lump Sum and Pension Schemes are “untaxed” funds, which means that 15% tax is instead deducted when contributions are rolled over into a taxed scheme. However, any after-tax contributions you have made to your super are tax free, including when you withdraw your super.
