I created a new super last year to contain only super accrued whilst on a sponsored 482 visa.
I shared this with my employer and they updated my payslips to reflect the new super fund.
However, they have just informed me that the super annuation has in fact continued to be paid into my old super account for the last year, they did nit update it on their other system, only on the payslip.
I set up the new super to avoid the flat 65% tax I would pay on my old super pot as it contained super whilst I was on a working holiday visa.
From my understanding, for my new super pot I would only have to pay 35-45% tax on it when I left Australia since it would only contain super earned whilst on a 482 visa.
Because they paid it into my old super pot, I will loose ~30% more in tax from the last year which is a few thousand dollars.
Is there anyway to have those payments taken back and put in the correct account?
They suggested rolling the old pot into the new pot but I believe this would still end up in the entire amount being hit with the flat rate of 65%?
