Financial Planner Luke Smith joined 2CC Talking Canberra 1206AM in Money Matters, which aired live on Friday 23 May 2025. The topic for this week is: How do you get a deduction for a super contribution and what is a ‘Notice of Intent”?. This topic follows on from last weeks show which explored the difference between a deductible contribution to super and a non deductible contribution to super.

What is a notice of intent?

How do you complete a notice of intent?

Once you’ve completed the notice of intent, send it to the super fund where you’ve made your personal contribution

Should I keep the confirmation from your super fund? Yes, especially if the tax office asks for proof!

Can I claim a partial tax deduction for super contributions I’ve made?

If I make more than one contribution to super over the year, do I need multiple notice of intent forms?

What’s the benefit of saving super into a mortgage offset account and making a contribution to super before the EOFY?
