Question: I am in a same-sex de facto relationship with my partner. We are both working full time and have about two decades more before we reach retirement age. I am selling my investment property this financial year and expect to pay substantial CGT. I wish to reduce this CGT where possible. Am I able to make concessional contribution to my partner's super for the financial year 2017-18 when my property is sold? I am aware of the concessional contribution cap of $25,000 which includes his employer's super contributions, among others. Also, can I make concessional contributions for the forward financial years and if so, for how many years in the future? We each have around $200,000 in our super.
