Details
Excess Employer Contributions can be simply posted to account 24200/MEMBERCODE. Simple Fund 360 will not calculate any excess contributions tax on these contributions and they will be assessed at the normal fund rate.
The ATO will use information from the fund’s tax return and information from the individual’s income tax return to work out if they have exceeded the concessional contributions cap and assess the individual’s tax liability.
THE INDIVIDUAL IS LIABLE TO PAY THE EXCESS CONTRIBUTIONS TAX, NOT THE SUPER FUND.
If the individual has exceeded the concessional contributions cap the ATO will send them a notice of assessment for the relevant year which will include the amount that they have to pay. The individual can pay their excess concessional contributions tax in a number of ways.
They can:
- pay the tax themselves without drawing on their super
- pay the tax themselves and use the voluntary release authority to ask their Super Fund to release the money to them
