Claiming your tax deduction

You’ve taken steps to boost your super this financial year and added a bit extra to your balance. That’s great news, and even better, you can now also claim your tax break, furthering your savings.

Simply submit your Notice of Intent to Claim and once we send you confirmation of it, you can claim it when you lodge your regular tax return. You must submit your Notice of Intent to Claim before submitting your tax return for this current financial year, or before 30 June of the next one.[*]
