Hi there,

Hoping you can clarify something for me regarding additional personal super contributions and claiming a deduction.

My partner currently has the following unused concessional contributions:

FY23 - $0

FY22 - $0

FY21 - $5,000

FY20 - $8,000

FY19 - $6,000

With the 5 year carry forward rule, my understanding is that the FY19 unused contribution allowance will expire this coming 30 June 2024 unless he makes additional contributions and claims a tax deduction for this.

He wants to make an additional contribution to use this allowance, but his super fund is telling him to write down FY24 as the relevant tax year on the form, rather than FY19 as the year.

I don’t understand this and I think it’s wrong. The contact at the super fund didn’t seem to be clear either.

Can someone please confirm? Is FY19 the correct year to note on the form to claim a deduction if he makes $6,000 of additional personal super contributions and claims a deduction.

thank you

Hi @kevcork82


You claim a deduction in the year you actually pay it.


In this case, 24FY is correct.


All the unused contributions do is allow you to increase the current year cap.
