Notes:
- This report includes determinations of entitlements made during the quarter in respect of the last two financial years and the total of the 2012–13 and earlier years. A determination of entitlement occurs once both an individual’s eligibility and the amount of their entitlement have been established.
- Where a beneficiary receives super co-contribution entitlements relating to different financial years the beneficiary is reported once for each financial year.
- Where a super co-contribution entitlement represents an additional entitlement for a beneficiary in respect of a financial year, that beneficiary is not reported again.
- The total amount recovered includes amounts repaid to the Commissioner and amounts (new entitlements) offset against unrecovered overpayments (that is, reduced entitlements for a different year). A reduced entitlement, and thus the need to recover amounts, can result from an amendment to an individual’s income tax assessment or a change to the superannuation contributions reported for that individual.
- The total of component amounts of super co-contribution entitlements determined and the total amount recovered are rounded up to the next whole $1,000. This rounding can result in the total amount being different to the sum of the components.
