Why we need information at A3

We use item A3 to ensure you receive your correct entitlement to a super co-contribution. When we work out your super co-contribution, we use your 2012 tax return to work out your eligible income and assessable income.

In some cases we need additional information to determine these amounts and calculate your entitlement. For example, we will treat your partnership distributions shown at item 13 as ineligible income unless you tell us otherwise by completing item A3.
