Hi, this is a question on behalf of a family member I am trying to help.


This sole trader is yet to submit their tax returns for the past 3 financial years. They do not currently have a super account set up.


It is my understanding that $30,000 a year can be made in personal contributions to super and that these can be made for the previous 5 financial years.


Am I correct in assuming that this person can declare these contributions for the previous 3 years when submitting their tax returns if they are to set up a super account now?


Or would this not be possible/cause any issues? Any advice on this would be very helpful and thank you in advance.

Unfortantely not, the PSCD can only be claimed for the years the payments were made eg: they make the contribution in the 2025 financial year, they can only claim the deduction in the 2025 tax return.
