When should I complete this notice of intent?

Your super fund may request the information in this notice of intent as part of another form. If they don't request this information, use this notice to advise them of your intent to claim a deduction.

You must give a notice of intent to claim a deduction to your super fund on or before whichever of the following days occurs earliest, either:

• the day you lodge your tax return for the year in which the contributions were made
• the last day of the income year after the income year in which you made the contributions.

You can apply to vary a previous valid notice of intent if:

• you have not yet lodged your tax return and it is on or before 30 June in the financial year following the year you made the contribution
• we have disallowed your claim for a deduction and you are applying to reduce the amount claimed as a deduction by the amount that we have disallowed.
