Contributions and rollovers

As an SMSF trustee, accept contributions and rollovers for your members from various sources but there are restrictions.

Last updated 14 March 2022

As an SMSF trustee, you can accept contributions and rollovers for your members from various sources but there are some restrictions, mostly depending on the member’s age and the contribution caps.

You need to properly document contributions and rollovers, including the amount, type and breakdown of components, and allocate them to the members’ accounts within 28 days of the end of the month in which you received them.

From 1 October 2021, to rollover any super to or from your SMSF, you will need to use SuperStream.
