Superannuation consequences

From 1 July 2007, if you are contributing a retirement exemption amount to a superannuation fund or RSA, the amount is generally a non-concessional contribution. To exclude the amount from your non-concessional contributions cap and have it count towards your superannuation CGT cap instead ($1.255m for 2012–13), you must notify the fund on Capital gains tax cap election (NAT 71161). You must complete this form by no later than the time you make the contribution.
