Hi @mystras,

 

If you're eligible and trigger the bring forward rule, you don’t need to contribute the full $360,000 as a lump sum. You can spread it over the three-year to a maximum of $360,000. Any amount over the $360,000 (in the three-year period) will likely be considered exceeding your non-concessional cap.

 

Yes, you can still make concessional contributions during this time. The bring-forward rule only applies to non-concessional (after-tax) contributions. Amounts above your concessional cap (per financial year), will count towards your non-concessional amount (and bring forward rule if triggered).
