I’m a sole trader who makes monthly personal super contributions to my “Fund A” super account. For the past few years I’ve submitted a NOI before I submit my tax return to claim these as a tax deduction. No dramas.


I am now considering changing my Life and TPD insurance to “Insurance Fund B”, and paying my premiums by an annual rollover from my “Fund A” account to “Insurance Fund B” (NB my current Life and TPD is paid outside Super). I plan to submit an additional contribution to my “Fund A” account to cover the premiums.


I know I need to submit a NOI BEFORE the rollover to claim any personal contributions that occurred before the rollover. My question is, can I then submit a second NOI at the end of the year to claim any personal contributions paid AFTER the rollover?


For example, say I pay $1000 on the 15th of each month as my “Fund A” personal super contribution (so $12000 total, paid in monthly installments). In July 2024 I also pay a separate, additional $1000 to cover my “Insurance Fund B” insurance premiums. I submit a NOI on the 22nd July 2024 to claim the $1000 personal contribution paid in July, which is approved a week later. My “Insurance Fund B” premiums then automatically rollover on 1st August 2024. I pay my next personal contribution to “Fund A” of $1000 on August 15th 2024, and continue to pay this every month until (and including) June 15th 2025.


Can I then submit a SECOND NOI to “Fund A” to claim the remaining $11000 paid as personal super contributions from the 15th August to the 15th June? Or will this NOI be invalid, because the rollover occurred beforehand?

Only one NoI per super fund per annum.


Must be received by super fund before any rollover to another super fund.

The ATO provides the following guidance:


If a member wants to increase the amount they are going to claim as a tax deduction, they must lodge a separate notice of intent to claim a deduction for the additional amount. This will be a new notice rather than a variation.


Notice of intent to claim a deduction | Australian Taxation Office (ato.gov.au)


The process you have outlined ensure that the super trustee holds the contributions that you have noted as claiming as a tax deduction. Therefore, my understanding is you are able to submit two notices. It may be worthwhile checking with your individual fund on their process or contact the ATO directly for clarification.


However, the rollover occurs prior to submitting the NOI, this can reduce the maximum amount you can claim as a tax deduction.
