Getting started

You can transfer into super and pension accounts from an external source as a contribution on behalf of your client. 

Things you should know before you get started

  • For existing pension accounts, please also submit a client signed Pension Update Request in addition to the requirements below
  • The assets must be available on the applicable Investment Menu to be held on platform
  • All transfers into superannuation accounts will occur as a change of beneficial ownership (CBO) transfer and will trigger a CGT event. This is because the beneficial owner of the account is the Macquarie Superannuation Plan, not the member
  • Contributions must adhere to contribution caps and are subject to superannuation rules as outlined in the taxation and superannuation law
  • The client’s Tax File Number (TFN) must be provided before we can accept any personal contributions into their super account
  • For pension accounts, please ensure you don’t exceed the transfer balance cap. Pension starting values are calculated after all assets, rollovers and/or contributions are received, and may differ to the initial transfer value due to market movement.
  • The effective date of the transfer will be when Macquarie Wrap has received all the completed documents
  • The consideration will be the closing market price on that date. For estate accounts, some issuers may require additional forms
  • Where the client intends to claim a tax deduction on a personal contribution, the client must provide a valid Deduction Notice for Personal Contributions form
  • For all equity transfers that involve a Change of Beneficial Ownership, the market value must be greater than $500 as at transfer date.
