Question

When will the Federal Government co-contribution be paid into my account?

Answer


  • Co-contributions are determined by the Australian Taxation Office (ATO)

  • It is important to make sure we have your Tax File Number (TFN) on file otherwise we cannot accept after tax contributions in to your First State Super account. You can check whether your TFN is held by First State Super online, by visiting the member account login area.

  • After you have lodged your tax return for this financial year and the ATO has received contribution information from your superannuation fund (we report this information to the ATO by the 31 October each year), the ATO will determine if you are eligible and meet the criteria for the Federal Government co-contribution.

  • If you are eligible the ATO will send the co-contribution to your superannuation account: this is done automatically. The co-contribution is listed on your transaction history under government co-contribution.

  • We generally start receiving co-contributions in November.
