I have been in Australia since 2018 on deputation (at workplace) on my TSS 482 visa before getting my Permanent residency last year in July.
My company had applied for the Certificate of coverage when I came to Sydney in 2018 and I have completed 5 years in 2023. As per the social security agreement between India and Australia after 5 years of completion, superannuation should start in Australia and the Provident Fund in India should stop.
I had checked with my company and they said an extension from 5 years to 7 years is being granted by both the governments. Before sending this email, I had connected with the Indian Government and they said that the consent for extension is being provided by the Australian Tax Office. I have a letter from them on the same.
Could you please let me know on what grounds extension is provided for extending Certificate of Coverage (COC) beyond 5 years for Employees who are in deputation in Australia from India? Please let me know the steps to get my super started if the extension is not valid.
An important fact in this regards is another employee in a similar situation as mine started getting super as soon as 5 years completed.
I am an Australian resident for Tax purposes, have already check these and would need some guidance on the above.
