What do I need to do before my client can make a personal contribution?

Your client can make personal or spouse contributions as non-concessional contributions (NCCs), which aren’t taxed when made into a superannuation fund.

Please take note of all contribution limits and eligibility criteria before making deposits into superannuation accounts.  You can find out more via our Big Black Book.

In general, the effective date of a contribution is the day when the funds and all required information to process the contribution is received by the fund.

How can my client make a personal contribution?

Make a contribution using BPAY

Using BPAY is one of the easiest ways your client can transfer large deposits into their account. To send funds to their account via BPAY, the financial institution holding the funds must be a BPAY payer. Using their online banking service, log into their account and make a payment to the details listed below. To make a payment into their Macquarie account, they’ll need:

  • The biller code for the contribution type they want to make, and
  • Their BPAY Reference Number.

Please note, BPAY deposits take up to three business days to clear. The maximum amount your client can deposit in one transaction via BPAY is $325,000.

Make a contribution using electronic funds transfer (EFT)

Your client can transfer funds into their account via electronic funds transfer (EFT). This can be done from most financial institutions by using their online banking service.

To make an EFT transfer, your client needs to be set up with a direct credit facility. You can set this up in Adviser Online, view Direct credit facilities for more information.  

Once the direct credit facility is set up, we’ll provide your client with the details they’ll need to make deposits. 

If your client has an SMSF that uses a Macquarie CMA or is administered through a Macquarie Investment Consolidator account, we offer an electronic message service that allows your client’s account to receive employer super contribution payments and related messages electronically. 

The electronic service address (ESA) is MACQUARIESMSF. 

Make a contribution using direct debit

You can use direct debit to set up automatic, regular deposits into your client’s account, that come from an external account in the same name. The minimum direct debit amount is $100 per transaction, which can be set up for a specific period or continued indefinitely. Your client can also choose the frequency, which can range from a one-off payment, monthly, quarterly, half-yearly or yearly payments. 
  
You can use the Macquarie Superannuation Direct Debit Request form to establish a direct debit for deposits into your client’s account from another bank account. Please ensure the form is signed by all account holders (not third party authorised signatories). If your client holds a Macquarie Vision account, please use the Macquarie Vision Direct Debit Request form.

Make a contribution using Direct Credit Facility (DCF)

To understand how to make a contribution through a DCF, see Understanding Direct Credit Facilities.

How can my client claim a deduction for their personal contributions?

To understand how to claim a deduction on a personal contribution, see Completing a deduction notice for personal super contributions.

What's the status of my client's contribution request?

When the contribution has been received, your client’s account balance will be updated in Adviser Online. Please see the transactions tab on your clients account for specifics.

How does my client check a contribution into their SMSF?

Your client can only view this information if they have used an Electronic Service Address (ESA).

Any other deposits need to be reported by the SMSF Administrator.
