Can I amend or reverse a notice of intent to claim after my super fund rejects a variation?

Ask the super for what reason you can't?

If there's no problem with the deadline or other conditions, I think you should be able to vary it

"You must give a notice of intent to claim or vary a deduction to your fund by the earlier of either the:

• day you lodge your tax return for the year in which you made the contributions
• end of the income year following the one in which you made the contributions."

"You can't vary your notice of intent if:

• you're no longer a member of the fund or the holder of a retirement savings account
• the trustee
  • no longer holds the contribution
  • has begun to pay a super income stream based wholly or in part on the contribution."
