13   OUTLINE OF CREDITS TO ACCOUNTS  
The following is a simplified outline of the types of credits that may be made to an individual's account.

Deposits by employers

The employer or former employer will make the deposit instead of making a superannuation contribution in respect of the individual. The deposit will result in a credit to the individual's account.
  • Superannuation guarantee shortfalls

  • • Under section 65 of the Superannuation Guarantee (Administration) Act 1992 , if there is a shortfall component of a payment of superannuation guarantee charge in relation to the individual, the Commissioner of Taxation may credit the shortfall component to the individual's account.
  • Interest

  • • Under Part 6 , interest may be credited to the individual's account.
