The ATO provides for a person to make personal contributions to superannuation (other than downsizer contributions) provided the contribution is received before or on the 28th day after the end of the month in which they have their 75th birthday. I turn 75 in June 2022 and want to contribute $110000 to my accumulation account on 1 July 2022. Please confirm that my superannuation fund can accept my non-concessional contribution of $110000 on 1 July 2022. I made a non-concessional contribution of $110000 on 1 July 2021, and my total superannuation as at 30 June 2022 will be less than $1.48 million. I passed the work test in FY 2021/2022.

You should be able to use bring forward before age 75 anyway?



How the bring-forward arrangement works

From 1 July 2021

The amount of the non-concessional contributions cap you can bring forward is either:

  • three times the annual non-concessional contributions cap over three years (that is, $330,000) if your total super balance on 30 June of the previous financial year is less than $1.48 million
  • two times the annual cap over two years (that is, $220,000) if your total super balance on 30 June of the previous financial year is above $1.48 million and less than $1.59 million
  • nil ($0) if your total super balance is $1.59 million or above.

These limits are based on the:

  • non-concessional contribution cap of $110,000
  • total super balance in relation to the general transfer balance cap of $1.7 million.

The following table represents the bring-forward arrangement for the first year.

Thanks Bruce. From the reference you cited for the bring-forward rule, I have extracted a clause that I thought precluded me from using the bring forward arrangement after age 67, even if I had passed the work test:

"1 July 2020  –  30 June 2022

If you are 67 years old or older on 1 July, you cannot access the bring-forward arrangement in that financial year. ..."
