    Trish,

    I am about to make a capital gain of about $200,000. My marginal tax rate is 30% and I am an employee and 43 years old.

    I want to contribute the equivalent of the capital gains tax component to my super, which is not self managed, so I save some money for the long run?

    Is this a non-concessional super contribution and thus I can claim it all as a tax deduction or do I need to contribute an amount that when 15% is taxed and charges taken out it is the same as the Capital Gain Tax due to contribution tax?
