ATO Has Updated Information Display on Contribution Caps

Home > SMSF > ATO Has Updated Information Display on Contribution Caps

If you’re making contributions to your superannuation, it’s important to be aware of the contribution caps. The Australian Taxation Office (ATO) has recently updated the way it displays information about the contribution caps, making it easier for users to see whether they’re at risk of paying unnecessary tax.

What Are the Contribution Caps?

The contribution caps are the limits on how much money you can contribute to your superannuation in a financial year. The caps are set by the government and are reviewed each year. If you exceed your contribution cap, you may have to pay extra tax. That’s why it’s important to keep track of your contributions and make sure you don’t go over the limit.

The ATO’s New Display

With this recent update, members can now use ATO online services to view and manage their non-concessional contributions (accessed via myGov). This will help users to keep track of their contributions and ensure they don’t go over the cap. Additionally, there is new ‘help’ content to help you understand and use this new functionality on ATO online services.

With Non- Concessional contribution cap, the information displays:

  • the remaining cap amount for the financial year
  • whether the member is close to exceeding the cap for the financial year
  • if the member has exceeded the cap, it shows the amount by using clear labels and coloured indicators.

With Concessional contributions and carry-forward concessional contributions, the information display has been enhanced to:

  • include coloured indicators and clear labels such as ‘eligible’ or ‘not eligible’, so members can easily view and manage their information.

The ATO’s online services now offer these new options to assist you in managing your super. There are also a number of valuable resources for anyone who wants to stay up-to-date with their super contributions.

Conclusion

If you’re nearing the contribution caps and want to avoid unnecessary tax, or unsure how it applies to you, it’s important to seek professional advice. The team at Wardle Partners Accountants & Advisors are experts in Self-Managed Superannuation Funds (SMSFs) and can help you stay within the limits while still maximising your contributions.

    The Wardle Team are Exceptional. Anthony, Christina & Jade setup our SMSF and I was able to rollover my wife’s super and my super into our own personal Trust SMSF. We are very appreciative for the Wardle Team and they have made our SMSF turn from an idea into a reality (never could have done it by myself). Thanks to the wonderful Wardle Team, your company made it feel so safe, seamless, stress free and easy.

    If you're looking for an accounting firm that provides exceptional service and comprehensive support, including SMSF management, I highly recommend this team. Anthony and Jade went above and beyond to guide us through a situation we never thought would be possible. Their professionalism, expertise, and genuine commitment to achieving the best outcome gave us confidence every step of the way. They were thorough, incredibly patient, and took the time to explain every aspect of the process in clear, easy-to-understand terms. Their knowledge and attention to detail are outstanding, and nothing ever felt like too much trouble. Thank you, Anthony and Jade, for your exceptional support. I would not hesitate to recommend your services to anyone looking for experienced, trustworthy, and dedicated accountants.

    We have dealt with Mark and the team at Wardle Partners for well over 15 years and have always found their service to be exceptional. In particular, Chantal has been exemplary in managing our SMSF and preparing our yearly tax returns. Her knowledge, expertise, efficiency and a thorough dedication to what she does has always been highly regarded and we are very grateful to work with her. I cannot recommend Wardle Partners enough.

    We have been using Wardle Partners for all of our accounting needs for a while now and I have been extremely happy with how our needs are met. I have so many questions and I am always calling and asking them and they give me answers straight away. I have never received this from other Accountants. We love Wardle Partners and how warm and welcoming they make us feel. No question is silly for them (and I ask ALOT of silly questions). They have helped us build our business within our Trust and have helped us understand absolutely everything that comes along. I will always recommend Wardle Partners for someone needing to find an amazing accountant!

    I own and operate Coastlife refrigeration. Gay from Wardle, my senior account is just nothing short of amazing. For the range of service and advice they can provide, going anywhere else isn’t an option for myself. My partner has seen the magnificent work Gay does for myself and just got on board with these guys as well. If you want the most for your money, yes whilst a little more pricey than some the service just can not be matched. I came from an accountant who did everything dodgy under the sun and left me a little confused and lost. As soon as these guys got to work on my portfolio I have not had a single drama, my returns and accounting have been on point from day one and I seriously can not speak highly enough of Gay. Thankyou thank you thankyou, if I could add more stars I would. You won’t be disappointed making the switch to a firm that legitimately cares about your future. 10000000000%
