Retirement savings accounts and your superannuation

Who can pay money into an RSA?

You or your employer can make contributions to your RSA.

If you have a Superannuation Holding Account Reserve (SHAR) account balance, you can ask the Tax Office to transfer the amount to your RSA.

If you make voluntary contributions from your after-tax salary (by having your employer deduct an amount from your after-tax salary), your employer must pay the amount deducted into your RSA account within 28 days after the end of the month in which the deduction was made.
