As we approach the end of the financial year, it is a good time to make sure your member contributions reported through Member Account Transaction Service (MATS)External Link are accurate and complete. Unchecked errors may result in unintended consequences for your members, which we may not be able to reverse.
When reporting MATS transactions for a member:
- Report contribution amounts and types accurately, using the correct label for each type of contribution.
- Confirm the fund's ABN, Unique Superannuation Identifier (USI) and member account identifiers match the details reported via the Member Account Attribute service (MAAS).
- Report events within 10 business days of their occurrence.
- Verify you have successfully lodged the report by checking for a technical receipt and business response.
- Resolve error responses promptly, including contacting your Digital Service Provider (DSP) when necessary.
- Report the 30 June account balance no later than 31 October 2025.
Many of our processes use the type and amount of contributions you report through MATS, and we also display this information in ATO Online. As automated processing increases, we have fewer opportunities to help you fix reporting errors before we use the data to assess members against contribution caps and other measures.
For assistance with reporting obligations, lodge an enquiry using the Super Enquiry Service.
