Members with a defined benefit interest
If the member has a defined benefit interest in the SMSF, include at A their notional taxed contributions.
The notional taxed contribution is generally the amount of the assessable contributions which the trustee has allocated to the member’s defined benefit interest during the financial year. See Regulation 292-170.03 of the Income Tax Assessment Regulations 1997.
If a member has both a defined benefit interest and an accumulation interest in the SMSF, include at A:
- the sum of the notional taxed contributions and
- any employer contributions made to their accumulation account.
For more information see Super contributions – for defined benefits funds and untaxed funds.
A1 ABN of principal employer
Write at A1 the Australian Business Number (ABN) of the employer who made contributions to the member’s account.
If more than one employer contributed to the member’s account, write the ABN of the employer that contributed the largest amount in 2014–15.
